Well I’m finally slowed down enough to write an entry. It’s been a year since my diagnosis and first surgery. I find it kind of ironic that almost a year to the day of my diagnosis and thinking my life was ending I watched my beautiful niece being born and her life just beginning. Also when I got home I threw a surprise party for my best friend with her husband. It made me so grateful to be healthy enough to enjoy these moments and look forward to many more. I am so busy since I got home and am doing a modified fast before my CT next week. I’m a little nervous about my scan since I didn’t do as well on my diet while on vacation as I should have but feel pretty good over all. Praying for great results. I was recently given a kitchen gadget called a norwalk juice press by a lovely lady who happened upon my yard sale. They are incredible little things. They do juice, nut butter, salads ect and am so blessed to have one. Yesterday the girls and I juiced about 16 qrts of juice and froze several for them for school. It was a lot of fun, today maybe some sunshine and relaxation…after bills and laundry.

Let your haters be your motivators

I called my surgeons office today to see what he would require to reverse my ostomy. When his assistant got back to me she said that he wanted my numbers to be below 35 to help ensure that it would be effective. It felt like a kick in the stomach at first, 35! that seems so far away, but then I decided that it was just more motivation to try harder to get there. Be extra strict on my diet and take every supplement the way I am supposed to. Also I WILL do my beam ray and see what happens. Let your haters be your motivators as they say. I’m sure he’s annoyed that I am not doing chemo. Otherwise he would do the surgery. He attempted it when I was 194 but not at 107? Oh well I will get there with or with out him. I want this ostomy gone badly enough to work hard at it. I can’t wait to call him and say 27 :)
