As Time Goes On…

… I realize more and more how important my bed is! Don’t get me wrong, this chair has served me well over the last week, actually allowing me some sleep each night. I haven’t felt refreshed but also not super unrested… but I’m ready to curl up with my pillow and sleep the night through. 🛏️

… The smiles increase as I glance at the beautiful flowers delivered to my doorstep. Such bright colors and a warm reminder of those thinking of me. 💜

… The pain is actually starting to feel less and less intense. It’s still quite a bit like I’ve been punched in the stomach and stabbed in the back, but it’s trending toward an overall tight/crampy feeling… one I can endure. 🥊

… I’m reminded of the buried anxiety that comes from waiting for test results. I’m expecting some feedback on pathology anytime now and then the genetic testing will follow next week. I just hope there’s something there to make this all worth the small risks, pain and inconvenience… something that will give us the best direction forward. 🫁

… It’s become quite apparent I am Peanut’s favorite human! She’s been on my lap, laying between my leg or wherever I’d allow her most of the week. Some may say it’s the chair she likes most but deep down, they know!

… I wonder who is actually reading these posts. I have stats saying there’s a couple hundred visitors and I can’t believe there’s more than 5… If you’re reading this would you kindly drop a simple comment, even just a silly emoji so I can see where my audience is?? 🦄💜🌈💐🍫
