It's hard to believe it's been two weeks since I had major surgery to remove the cancer; yet I must remind myself that it's ONLY been two weeks, and that I'm still recovering. I try to go on like this isn't really happening. Pretty sure I've been doing too much, but I am grateful for friends that help distract me from the unwanted thoughts that creep in when I'm alone and not busy. During idle times over the past 6 weeks since the mass was detected, I've been cleaning out drawers, closets, and files. I've been painting ceramics that sat in a box for years unfinished. I've made diaper bags and blankets and planned all sorts of crafts for Christmas gifts. Furniture has been donated and pictures have been taken for things we are selling online. Photo albums are getting put together, finally. Minimizing is easier these days. Anything I can do to take my mind off the dull ache in my head/eye/ear/jawbone area. It's not too bad and I know it's going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better; but still, it is hard to keep a smile on some days. The sunshine today is beautiful and a finished ceramic project is a welcome accomplishment. The boys are happily playing out back and a friend brought dinner by awhile ago. My granddaughter makes me smile anytime of any day thanks to facebook and her mommy's videos. Going to go back to work tonight where I will see lots of happy faces!
Life is good.
