I feel horrible today! I am in my fifth week of recovery from surgery after uterine cancer. Tomorrow I have an IV contrast scan and the following week I will get my radiation implant, the first of three. I don't need chemo so I am not as bad off as a lot of people.
I got my diagnosis a week after being laid off my job of 27 years in late April as they were outsourcing work to another country. It has been so unreal for me. I have been sort of in shock through this whole time.
Up till now I've been strong but today I just feel so sad. I have to get up at 3AM tonite to begin taking Prednisone and Benadryl because I am allergic to the dye, but they need to use it for the scan anyhow.
I hope this isn't TMI. I am just tired and crying I'm trying to think of things to be thankful for.
Here is what I am happy about every day: I love my husband and 4 indoor kitties and my 2 outdoor ferals. My favorite time of day is in the morning when the cats all want their wet food. I get up and it is like Christmas for them every day. They are so excited about getting their food. They weave in and out between each other and all of them head butt me while I am preparing their dishes. The ferals outside stand up and mew against the screen door and play-wrestle with each other, they are so happy. So much happiness for such a little thing! It makes me thankful to be a kitty mom.
What does everyone else feel thankful about or love every day? I feel like a goody two shoes asking, but I want to soak up all the good things of the world. I think it will help give me perspective and a second wind.
