Hi Melissa - Wow, I'm excited that your birthday's this week, so I wanted to send you early and extra special good wishes to you in celebrating number 32!!! And I too can remember when 30 seemed like such a long way away, and so "old"...boy was I mistaken. You know, I completely get what you mean when you say it's as if your life has been frozen in time since last December. When you have a serious illness so much of your life is focused around medical needs, and so much of what used to be the regular routine goes out the window, and all that just jumbles up one's sense of time. I wish you hadn't had to spend most of 2009 in bed, and know it hasn't been easy for you. We are all blessed by the time you take to write to us and give us your real world perspective on living with lung cancer. Have a good birthday, Melissa. We'll be thinking of you on Thursday and hoping we get to do this again next year.
Take good care,
Pat
