May 28th 2 rough months

Rough month. Right now I have been going through a rough time. Everything I read about this surgery said that it would be a rough 2 months of recovery and so far it has been. I have had some good days, which give me hope for a full recovery; but then there are time like the last 48 hours where if I can get away from the bathroom for more that a couple of hours it is a celebration.

My surgeon does not seem to concerned and just tells me to be patience, something I have never really mastered.

The more I go through the more I am thankful for what I do have. Health is something I have always taken for granted. No more. Everyday now I look forward to small steps forward, knowing there are going to be rough days as well. My empathy for people with chronic health problems has also grown as well as my distaste for people who purposely destroy their health.

My oncologist said every teenager should spend a day in an infusion room. It would be a great learning experience and greatly reduce smoking.

I will try to post again as I feel better and have a better game plan for going forward.

Thank you again for all the thoughts, prayers and good wishes.
