September 4th marked the seven month anniversary of my brain tumor resection craniotomy. WOW! I cannot believe it’s been that long ago now. There are times that it seems like it couldn’t be that long ago, but then as I look back at all I have been through physically, it seems about right. I am so grateful for the recovery that I have had so far.
I have had the chance to reconnect with some old friends, formed a closer relationship with God, been at peace and stopped being such a worrier. (If I had known that my diagnosis would lead me to not having anxiety and worrying constantly maybe I would have wanted cancer sooner. Okay, not really!) There are life lessons to be learned no matter what path we go down and I feel like I’m getting my dose of shit happens , but you cannot let it consume you and the beauty of my life far outweighs this illness and all that comes with it.
As I do look back over these months, I won’t say that I have regrets, but there are things I wish that I had done or wouldn’t have done or things that hadn’t happened, so this is me using my blog as therapy today. If you’d like to get comfy in a chair and pretend that I’m laying on your sofa, feel free to break out a pad to jot down notes and psychoanalyze me. I welcome it!
