Post Celebration

Those days come and go so fast. That moment of celebration with a modicum of success since cancer first into my life. I wanted a day to thank all who had made that day possible. It was a great day and all played a part in making it happen. Boy, so much to be thankful for and even more once it had come and gone.

No sooner had I made a firm resolution to become less of a burden than I fell flat on my face. It's been overwhelming to recall all that others have done for me. I couldn't begin to think of expecting them to hang on with me through another few years. I wanted to release them from the terrible burden giving so much of their lives to me. How could I continue you to allow them always to put me so high on their calendar of events. As I said above, no sooner had I made a resolution of less dependence than I found myself at Allenmore Hospital here in Tacoma. Several trips to the emergency room and one very intense visit to my specialist and tests galore, out comes the Gall Bladder. It was double in size and had infected a great deal of other parts of the intestine and stomach. However, it's all over, started on Monday and today is friday. I was home the first day and could have been out and about by Wednesday. Everything is under control and all is well.

Now, what do I do? How do I go about being less of a burden on others. I really don't know, but I honestly want to give it a try and become more of a giver than a taker. In all humility, I'll continue to say thank you, but more an more try to change my ways.
