Can you believe it?
We are only several weeks away from the start of a new year!
This means a really crazy remainder for the rest of our year. By the looks of our calendar hanging up in the kitchen. It appears that we are going to be mighty busy!
We finally have surgical dates set after our insurance company approved two separate surgeries. It took a bit, but once again we finally have definitive dates. My first surgery is set for the week after Thanksgiving. The second attempt at surgically placing my port will be during the second week of December. In the meantime, my team of specialists have me finishing up a combination of antibiotics while continuing pain management with my new pain specialist. I am aiming for less-is-more with both surgeries when it comes to a smooth road to recovery. More so the first one lined up in order to get to the root (literally) with another bone tumor that was found after labs showed my body fighting a pretty big infection. That infection halted my surgical procedure for the first attempt at a port. This isn't the first bone tumor that has been surgically removed. The very first one was found by accident, via x-ray, while finishing up a long year of dental work. In all reality, it's really not a huge surprise with tumors, once again, rearing their ugly head. It only takes one cancer cell to run wild and for a long enough period of time to find another home within the human body.
With such a small window of opportunity to gain some weight. I have already started to amp things up a bit with my daily nutrition. The best that one can with a limited liquid diet. I don't foresee things to be easy over the next few months. But this gal has proved to be one hell of a fighter! This won't be the first time, nor probably the last to get my game face ON!
There has been so many changes within our lives over the past 12 months. It has been quite a challenge keeping up with everything! But someway, somehow, we continue doing so and doing so with a smile. With that in mind, how fitting is it to share some changes of my very own.
So many different looks that I have embraced over the past year. Crazy how one's life can change that much in a mere year! Hehehehehehe! We may not be able to prevent constant change within our very own lives. But what we can do is welcome change and embrace it.
Totally keeping the red! WINKWINK**
