Yesterday was 3 months for me since my life saving operation.  I can remember driving through a snow storm to get to the hospital.  Eric and my dad assured me that we would get there no matter what but I was more concerned that my surgeon would not be able to travel back from his conference and then what!?  So much had happened leading up to this date and so much planning to try to make it as smooth as possible for my family to have a snow storm screw it all up.  We made it to the hospital and then the next day or so was a blur for me.  As I woke up Eric knew that I would want to know everything and he did tell me all.  I really didn't expect to have lost so many parts but I knew it was a possibility. To think that a small out patient surgery with my OB/GYN could lead to a cancer diagnosis that all the medical professionals in our town had only heard of.  Now 3 months have gone by since they took 9 organs all at once and flushed my belly with heated chemo.  Doesn't that seem crazy!

 I am counting my blessings every day but sometimes my head veers off to the dark side and that is why I am starting this blog.  I am hoping to be able to write down my thoughts and then remember all that I am lucky for.

Today is a beautiful May day!  My boys are running around the house like monkeys, the dogs are barking, and the breeze is flowing through the house.  I was diagnosed on December 12th and never did I think almost 5 months later I would be so ALIVE and feeling so good!

Blessings come in small packages:)
