SURGERY DATE SET - FEB 22

“If one has courage, nothing can dim the light

which shines from within.”

- Maya Angelou -

I have been mustering all the courage that I am able. It's almost been two weeks since hearing I need to go back to the cutting table. The news that my tissue margins were not totally clear of cancer cells was quite the sting. 🐝 UGH.

I have been processing my feelings around this detour. During some of my quiet alone moments, there have been tears of disappointment and moments of frustration. Having my 2023 plans, business and pending projects put on hold longer than originally expected has been, well, SH!TTY! This additional surgery was not part of my plan!!

And oh how my patience has been tested every step of the way! Instead of surgery, I had visions of me headed into radiation, head held high, shoulders back, chest out with a sexy swagger while wearing my red boa and counting down the days until I could ring the end-of-treatment bell. Instead, I'm counting down the sleeps until surgery number two.

10 more sleeps peeps, 10 more sleeps!

Well, I have been here before. I am not fearful of the process nor the recovery. Hey, under the category of "fun" I'll be back on the heavy-duty meds! Woohoo! LOL. I'm planning out all the things I can do over the next week and a half before I head back into recuperation hibernation.

It's about 4.5 weeks post-op now and my energy has been creeping up on-the-daily. YEAH! I'm able to do more around the house and I am even feeling inspired to do some behind-the-scenes planning for RKCo. So at least there is that!

And just as I was feeling like myself again, I now have 10 days to squeeze in as much as I can before getting back on the recovery path all over again. Tonight I'm headed to watch my nephew's hockey game, I'm meeting a friend for coffee this week and mid-week, off to the theatre with another dear friend.

"It's just a bump in the road. It's just a bump in the road."

We want to get all the pesky cancer cells out and we need to start by not having any cancer cells around the perimeter of the removed tissue. Ok. OK! I can do this!

Wednesday, February 22.... that's 2-22. If you're into angel numbers, 222 is auspicious indeed. "222 affirms your path and requests that you stay true in your light. Trust the process. You are exactly where you need to be." ❤️

And here we are, take 2 coming up on 2-22. ✌🏼
