Train has left the station…
Bags are packed, the same outfit I have worn to every surgery is ready and I am calm. This surgery has felt a little different for me since I have had to see a deterioration in myself – a decline physically and mentally which produced an emotional result 😦
Everyone has been asking how are you feeling and I have to be honest – scared, nervous, frustrated. Looking forward to eating ice cream sandwiches, which I never eat except for surgery. Looking forward to cheating on my diet 🙂 Not really looking forward to my 6th surgery in 8 years. I thought I had signed up for a brain surgery and then a battery change every 4-5 years. So we should theoretically be on the 3rd not the 6th. I am learning though, life happens. I can’t control why my past batteries have malfunctioned, I can’t control how fast this battery is declining. But what I can control is my attitude towards tomorrow and the recovery. So here goes to a quick and easy battery replacement, to being recharged and renewed and to being positive and brave during the whole process! Running, pushups and burpees – see you in 6 weeks! It could be a while before you see me back on here, so wish my luck and thanks to all my readers for being on this journey with me!
Run Carrie Run!
