It is 2009! I'm going to keep this a bit short for I am POOPED! I now understand why Doctor Hazelbaker said... Dawn, you need to slow down more. You're pushing your limits too soon after surgery. LOL
As for New Years Eve and my telling Terry what was discovered with the lab results?
Terry took the not so good news with stride. However...
We DID go out to Huron ( 3 hours away) for New Years Eve. When we got to our friends house to change clothes... It took longer than I expected for I had trouble getting into that very form fitting dress due to my stomach feeling a bit tender but I did it! ( I didn't breathe for 5 hours but...
When I came down the stairs... He smiled so big and said... Wow!!! It was worth the wait! And off we went.
We got to the party and then... I danced! ... And danced... And danced! The people who knew I had had surgery 3 weeks ago were shocked that I was not only dancing but wearing such high heels. LOL
We rang in the New Year with a wonderful kiss, dancing very slowly to a wonderfully fitting song and the song they played was of all things...
Garth Brook's- The Dance.
The part of the song that goes:
"Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance"
... makes me think of life as it is now.
(Especially waking up New Years Day and boy was there PAIN. HAHA)
Anyway... as Terry and I held each other;I whispered to him that I realized that yes, these next few months may have some pain but that should either one of us feel sadness,pain, fear or anger... All we will need to do is to remember this very special night and recall how wonderful it felt and remember " The Dance" and we'll be alright!
As for the chemo. I do not know yet what the game plan is. I do think he said something about a port. My mind kind of went numb at the doctors office and I know a lot will have to be repeated to me on Tuesday. But Terry will be there this time and that's a good thing. He listens to the doctor better than I do. :o)
