I sit here this morning with my first cup of coffee for the day, enjoying the warm, sweet taste, the aroma drifting past my nose. I take a deep breath and remember days of sitting on my Grannie's knee, drinking 'coffee milk' with the grown-ups.
More milk than coffee, I thought I was important! I was sitting with with 'the big people'. As a child I was often made to think I was important, even though they were small things like the 'coffee milk'. I knew I was somebody!
I know I am still 'somebody' today.
A couple of weeks ago I made my annual visit to the OB/GYN where an ultrasound found an 'abnormality'. A few days later, a specialist found a tumor in my bladder, which turned out to be cancer.
Monday (Happpy Valentine Day, huh?) I had surgery to remove the tumor; it turned out it was too big to get all at one time, so I'll have to wait until next Monday to find out what the next step is.
To quote an email I received from someone who's been there, done that, "Just don't fear things you can't control. Accept them and refuse to break."
So, that's what I'm doing! There's nothing I can do right now to control it, so I'll leave it in the expert's hands. Meanwhile, I'll continue to enjoy life AND look forward to the Wreckyll in Jeckyll!!!!
