"When life kicks you, let it kick you forward."

 

Found this picture/quote on Pinterest the other day and it resonated with me, so I wanted to share.

 

I didn't pick this journey I am about to embark on, but since I have to go on it, I hope that it makes me a better person in the process. :)  I am sure I will have emotional days along the way, but I am hoping that I can find little nuggets of strength and inspiration in my everyday life. (I know that they are there somewhere...I just might have to look harder for them some days.)

 

This will be a brief blog entry because I am technically not supposed to be "signing any important documents" for the next 24 hours, since I had surgery and anesthesia today. I guess that means that I might not be very clear headed on things...better not risk sounding dumb on my blog, right? ;)

 

APPOINTMENT UPDATE

 

Today I went into the hospital to have my "Power Port" put in. My dear friend JB from college brought me in and sat with me while I waited to see the surgeon. The procedure was relatively easy (as far as surgeries go) and I was happy to be recovering with warm blankets and a surgical gown that had warm air blowing into it afterwards. (How cool is that??) I didn't know they even had such a thing, but when my surgery was completed and my teeth started to chatter, I was pleasantly surprised to have instant heat! There is just something SO comforting about being warm!

 

It's kind of crazy to think about having outpatient surgery....they just do their thing and then you are on your merry way! Other then a super sore/stiff neck, I feel fine, which I am thankful for. Being nauseous is the worst, so I am happy to not be experiencing that at the moment.

 

That's all for now...

 

Love to all...
