So, there’s a bit going on….
I’m excited about lots in life – Pink Polar’s going full steam ahead, I’m back writing, I’ve done a bit of media lately and thoroughly enjoyed it, I’m designing/sewing pretty well (if I say so myself), I’m back in touch with some old friends (some of whom have been around while I’ve been sick – others who haven’t) and I’m preparing for the next surgery.
Emotionally – I desperately miss some of these people and having them in my life. But my life is not what it once was.
Two of our biggest events for Pink Polar are happening Friday and Saturday, then I have my surgery on Monday morning. I’ve been asked about what messages I wan’t to get through to the audiences at these events. I realise some of the critical members of my care team will be in the room on Saturday night, while others will not. How am I going to feel standing up there in front of 400+ – just fine. But in front of them – I hope I manage to make them proud. To make them feel like some of the awful elements of their jobs are worthwhile in the long run – because people like me don’t waste the opportunity of a second or third chance they have helped provide.
The significance of Operation #9 is huge. I hope, with all of my being, that this is it now. But – I know only too well given my serious case of de javu with the second diagnosis, to ‘never say never’.
