New Rain

It's 2011. Whew. Thank God.

As I mentioned in the last post, I'm boring myself to tears talking about my health issues. The short of it is that I had another health scare this past week since I'd had some abnormal blood tests, but after hyperventilating about it for a couple of days this week, they appear to be normal again and my doctor no longer seems concerned.

I have gone from being this person who never got sick, went to the doctor or gave a passing thought to my health to a person who gets completely freaked out when I have health scares.

The other short of it is that 2010 is over. So, hallelujah to that. I think I might have said that at the end of 2009 too, but I mean it this time. I should go back and read that post to see if it reads exactly the same!

I'm ready for showers of goodness to rain upon me.
So it was a wonderful vacation for the most part peppered with a couple of scary-as-hell moments. But I do think 2011 is a fresh start of sorts. And my diagnosis and surgery are further behind me every day. This Thursday is my one-year follow-up MRI. For whatever reason, I'm not freaking out about that right now and don't think I will. I'm going to look at it as a milestone to realize for now and leave it at that.

  1. hello AMG! Al from MGH send me a link to your blog. I am in the process of reading through your blog and really glad you are doing well. It's helpful to know a bit about what to expect and what is ahead. Is there a way for me to message you privately? I have a few questions about your experiences! Thanks!
