Everybody Hurts.............Sometimes

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.

Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.

Yesterday I had my post-op appointment with my surgeon Dr. Fisher..  He said that everything was healing well.  The drain couldn't come out.  It can come out when there is 30cc (1 ounce) of fluid in a 24 hour period and for the last two days, it has been at 60cc in a 12 hour period.  Pushing it too much I fear??????? I thought that I had been taking it easy, but realizing that I guess I haven't????

Tuesday is hopefully the day to get it out.

I spoke with the medical oncologists office today and my consultation appointment will be Monday, April 1st.  I will get the treatment plan that day and maybe even start that day or the next.  Things are progressing.

 

I don't know how I would be getting through this without friends and family.  Every time I turn around, there has been flowers, cards, texts, call, and much enjoyed visits.  Thank You.  It has helped so much.  I don't know what people do that don't have support, anybody, family, friends, anybody?

Last night I think that it hit me that I just have had major surgery and I had a little meltdown.  I hear "You need to take of yourself."  "You need to rest."  I am not doing this very well. I feel fine, sure the pain is there, and I get a little tired more easily, but I feel great.  I am not used to slowing down, I am used to going and doing.  This is hard. I have heard the term, 'I / We do hard things', but that is taking on a whole new meaning to me.  I am just wrapping my head around the fact that cancer has come into my life.  What I do with this is up to me......
