Hello...It's Me

I've had the past 2 weeks off re-cooperating from my third (successful and FINAL!) lumpectomy and although I've had more time on my hands than I have known what to do with at times or even enjoy to some extent, I just simply have not felt like writing. I had no idea SO many people were reading my blog. I am flattered, grateful and even surprised to have heard that so many of you noticed that I haven't been posting.

Just before my last surgery I was scurrying to get some things done at the office and before I realized it I had broken down in tears of shear frustration from trying to get so many things done and feeling like time was almost my enemy. I know that time is not my enemy, it will be a part of my healing process but I also realized that having cancer is a full time job (and not one that I applied for!) Between making appointments and arrangements it just seems like it is never ending. Hmm...I guess in a way it actually is! Although I couldn't get away from the cancer, getting away from the computer gave me a bit of a rest. As you know, when I write, I REALLY write a lot! :0)

I go back to work tomorrow and I am truly looking forward to it. I work with a lot of wonderful people who all genuinely care about my health and happiness. I am very blessed to work with them as well as be in the military, so my health care is not an issue. It is actually part of my job to be healthy. I have heard and read so many tragic stories of women who don't have insurance or a support system and can't afford medicine or even gas money for the many appointments. I said in the beginning that if you have to have cancer, this is the way to have it (type, stage, etc.) Well, I am once again very fortunate.

Thanks for reading and for being there for me in so many ways. I can not imagine what this would have been like for me so far had I not had the love, support and prayers of so many people.

Just so you know, you can always post a comment to the blog. :0)
