Last week I was proactive (I've learned my lesson with hospital politics) and I called to ensure my daughter's next MRI was booked according to schedule. August 16 is her next MRI, and August 17 is her next physical. Right on track.
Its hard to believe that 9 months has passed since my daughter's diagnosis. I've met so many people along the way who have somehow enriched my life and helped me to see beyond the negative. I actually feel we are lucky, rather than unlucky. People have said "gosh I can't believe your luck, how could something so horrible happen?". I truly believe that we are not handed what we can't handle. And I do not see this as negative - I see this as "it could have been so much worse than it was". I don't look forward with fear. I look at routine physicals and MRIs as just that - routine. I don't expect them to find anything. I'm not sure why or where this comes from, but this is my gut feel deep down. Tonight I was at my daughter's end of year ballet performance. I watched with so much pride and joy, and I know my husband and I will enjoy these performances for many, many years to come.

Blog? What For?I've never had a blog...nor have I ever cared to have one until now. I feel I have something to write about. I feel I have something to share with the world. Perhaps it is yet another form of egotistic narcissism - my take on Facebook "status" posts, Twitter and all the other social networking websites. I guess the difference is that I'm not telling the world "going to meet my BFF for a coffee". I truly feel others can learn from my experience. I am certainly learning everyday. Let's see...so far I've learned to simmer my crazy spiraling of stupidity on stupid issues (haven't quite mastered completely omitting them from my life just yet). Not sure if I can re-train my entire personality and existence thus far. Plus I'm great at being passionate on stupid issues. Archives
