Happy first day of 2023. Today was a quiet day for me, no physical therapy, so I didn't have much to do. I tried to write but I just wasn't feeling too inspired today. I suppose I could have edited one of my finished books but I wasn't really feeling that either. I'm hoping inspiration will strike me tomorrow. This blog still counts as writing though, right?
I don't want to do the traditional New Year's resolutions or the " new year, new me" stuff. I'm going to try my damnedest to keep pushing through things and be as kind as I can be. I'm obviously not perfect and have made my share of mistakes but I'm learning from them. Isn't that all we really can do?
My daughter's wish was granted by the Make a Wish Foundation. She's been in Florida for almost a week, experiencing Universal Studios and Harry Potter World. Her cancer has relapsed so they moved up her trip so she could have a fantastic experience before starting treatment. My hope for 2023 is that her cancer finally leaves her body. She, like many children, have already gone through enough.
I have one more surgery January 27th. After I heal up from that, I will have a little more physical and occupational therapy and then I will be clear to go home! It's been a long time coming but that's another story for a different day. God willing the surgery will be short and sweet and recovery will be swift.
The other day in therapy I walked. Two separate walks for 240 feet total with no assistance from a cane or a walker! I almost cried. Happy tears, mind you, but tears nonetheless. I walked a little like Frankenstein but dammit I walked! It was a great feeling after so long.
If you took the time to read this I hope that your new year brings you health, wealth, and happiness. Thank you for being my friend and thank you for reading. Stay tuned for more to come!
