After a few recent posts, I’m trying to keep a better attitude. Mostly out of guilt. I know that my issues are minimal in comparison to others. I also know that I have a lot more love and support than many people dealing with much less. For both of those things I am thankful.

Despite the fact I’m now sporting an ugly black purse that is attached to my ankle via a tube 24/7, I am free of the PICC line! Yes, they removed it today. All 54 inches that they wound into my vein. (My mom almost passed out watching them take it out!)

My arm has been extremely sore, so I am hoping this will alleviate that pain. Now if I can just rid of the pain in my ankle when I walk, I’ll be even better.

Showering tonight with two hands was a dream. You can easily take for granted even the smallest things in life. For many of us it is our health.

I’ve gotten to know Dorothy at Grammology very well over the past year. She is going through her own health crisis and still finds time to give me an encouraging word. I enjoy reading her variety of topics, because she reminds me of a fountain of wisdom when it comes to families and relationships. She has started chemo (for Ovarian Cancer) and could use some support. Please head over there today and leave a her quick comment! (She has a few guest posters right now, but she’s reading her comments I’m sure!)
