I’m throwing the bottle away…..
The bottle of “scrub care” given to me by the hospital when
I went in for pre-op months ago.
Initially I kept it because I was waiting for the biopsy surgery to be
rescheduled. And now that there are no
plans to reschedule the biopsy I kept it as a reminder of how close I was to
having my head drilled into again.
It was sentimental. I
would look at it on the edge of my bath tub and think of how close I was to the
line of brain surgery, and how incredibly blessed I was to have not inched over
that line again. It represents an array
of emotions that swing back and forth depending on the day, but all emotions
are lined with a huge smile and thankfulness.
This trip of unwellness has been difficult, and brought many
life changes, but it has also reinforced some positive things in life. My faith has been reinforced in dramatic
ways. My marriage has been strengthened
in some very special and personal ways (Rex took care of me for weeks while I
was bed-ridden), and my desire to be a good mother to my children has really
come alive.
I am well. I am not
wasting any time on things that are not important (unhealthy relationships
& material items). My relationship
with the Lord, raising my children and being a good wife are all at the top of
the list. While I fight to maintain my
current health, I am super thankful for another turn on the merry-go-round of
life with good health. And while I’m
enjoying my health, I’m throwing away that bottle of “scrub-care” so it is not
a nagging reminder of how close I was to surgery. Here’s to a summer, I mean Fall season of
enjoying my family, and our health.
