Hi Mary! I just wanted to check in with you and see how you are doing. It is very hard to be patient! But when I measure my progress from almost a year ago- I see that I am feeling great- Gardening, kayaking, walking tons! Measure progress in weeks and you will be surprised at how far you have come already! My husband took my picture in the ICU and showed it to me every time I complained that it was sooo slow!

In any event am encouraged by your story and hoping to be back on track..

Hi Mary -
I know how the emotions change from one day to another, and at times hour by hour with the nights being the most difficult. Sometimes I think I am crazy. My 'go to' has been to keep thinking about the positives - I want to see my grandkids grow up - I want to share in their joys - I want to boss my husband a little longer :}. I pull out the pictures and look at all the fun stuff. Hang it there, this too will be over soon and we can look forward to the next chapter. Forrest Gump said “My mom always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get" - isnt that a fact! Sending you big hugs!

Dear Mary, yes it’s true that all kinds of thoughts go through your mind while you are waiting for surgery. Know that we all have gone through the same things and put your trust in God, your surgeon and his medical team. You will get through this. Do things that you like to do to keep your mind busy and as I did pray. I will be praying for your surgery to go well and your recovery will be smooth. We will be here to welcome you into recovery. God bless you
