I've spent the past few months preparing for surgery. Well, I haven't done anything elaborate other than making hotel reservations, fill my calendar with appointments, and turning the pages, wondering if I'm living my last days. Daily I wonder, "What would I do if I only had (fill in the blank) days left to live?" and conclude I wouldn't do anything drastically different. I'm keeping life simple and embracing each day - whatever it brings.
I recently changed my daily routine and started running with my children in the morning. It's been a good way to get rid of stress. We've talked about doing a 5K together, but it's just talking now. I've been entertaining this idea for quite some time. We'll see what happens after my surgery. In any event, it's something for me to look forward to. My surgery is planned for mid-July. I'm nervous but believe I am in good hands and continue to hope for the best.
