Happy to be 'Moving Right Along'

Today I am feeling just like my title, Happy to be Progressing.  My surgery is slated for Friday at LDS (outpatient).  The left side will be removed and then about 3 to 4 weeks later, depending on healing time, I can start treatments (whatever they may be).

Then after that time, I will have the other surgery, the right side removed and reconstruction at the same time. Progressing.

Things I learned today is that I need to have a pillow, like a cough pillow to help get up.  Yoga pants are good and shirts that button up.  Little things that I should know?  NO.  I should write a book.  That's not going to happen.  The old saying is that if you looked at every one's challenges on a line you would go and pick your own.  I feel that way to.  Through this process, IMC, has helped me along the way, every step, making appointments, suggesting who to talk to and my insurance UHC has helped with an excellent nurse who calls with answers to questions I didn't even know I had.  I realize people aren't that lucky.

I was able to go to lunch with some great friends Friday and Monday.  Keith and I were able to go to dinner Friday with family and more great friends on Saturday.  We are truly blessed.  I have an amazing husband, that when the tears start to fall, says it's OK, cry your heart out and we'll move on together.

I see that I am rambling, those of you who truly know me, know that I have 5 stories going on at once.  Now it is in writing.

I wonder, I wonder what people do who don't have the gospel of Jesus Christ do that gives them hope in their darkest hour?  Christ lives, he suffered for us and knows our pain.  Faith is what I need to walk with right now and for the rest of my life.
