If it doesn't kill you...

I'm so not a person to take days off.  This past school year I have taken a lot of days off (mostly for a funeral and my outpatient surgery).

Tomorrow I am taking a day off to write a proposal for Grad school.  This semester has been so tough.  With added personal issues I have just wanted to crawl in a hole and call it quits.  I'm not looking forward to this 30 page paper I'm going to have to tackle and stop procrastinating about. Hopefully I will not turn out a terrible product!!!

April showers

The past month has been a very crazy time.  From getting the happiest news of my life to spending a week waiting for what ended up being the saddest news of my life.

It has been a roller coaster of emotions since March 20th and a "ride" that ended up with me encountering my first hospital visit for out patient surgery. 

The major lesson I learned would be that of faith.  Putting my faith in God's hands and giving him full control has been the only thing that has kept me somewhat sane during this time. The best thing from this ordeal would be discovering what wonderful people I have in my life.  Through it all Justin was my rock, my strength, my hope.  I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful man in my life. He was so strong throughout it all and let me cry, scream, and just be sad without saying anything just showing me love and support.   I had many messages, phone calls and well wishes from those that I love.  I even had the offer from a friend's mom  that she would drop everything and come up and take care of me while mom and dad were out of town.  That showed me how much I matter.  That same friend was in daily contact with me through it all and I hope she knows how blessed I am to have her in my life.  

Tomorrow is my post-op appointment.  I don't foresee that it will be a big deal.  Just an in and out kinda of visit.
