So Theres That
I'm disappointed. More than that...clenching my teeth. I can't wait for Jan. 27. The last couple of days there was some improvement on some damaged skin that I've been dealing with due to my ileostomy. Woo Hoo, I thought, "Yes, we found the solution". But alas, some of my improved skin is now back to it's yucky, stingy, bad news rawness. GRRR. Tonight was so "ouchie" and frustrating. I know I'm beating a dead horse...but this is where I'm at.
I have a goal of working at least 1/2 days in the office this week. Today I worked a couple of hours from home and a couple in the office. I would have been in earlier, except the water in my building was off for repairs. Again, Grrr. I made some headway office, though, which was great. It would be nice to get things caught up before I am out of commission again.
I do feel like there are some major postives out of this whole situation. I'm sure I've shared some of these before, but I think listing some would be therapeutic for me to do right now. I'll try for 10 and share them:
1. No Cancer
2. Possibility of feeling WAY better than I have in 15 years when this is all over
3. Learning how many people there are that for real, care for me
4. Getting to make some new friends online
5. Putting my love for writing into action and actually sharing it with people
6. Getting to see my parents for 2 weeks in November and a week in January
7. Having the opportunity to help others dealing with similar situations by offering hints, encouragement, or an ear (well, eyes, really)
8. Being TOLD to eat carbs
9. Being TOLD to sleep all the time...bring on the Tylenol PM
10. Getting to watch lots of Little House on the Prairie

That's a good list of 10. I'm sure you could come up with even more. I like the Little House on the Prarie. Hang in there! It's almost over!
