So I haven’t written in a while. And honestly, I was starting to feel it, like when you go give up sugar or meat for a while, there is just this void. And I wish I could say that I was sooo busy doing amazing things with my life that I just didn’t have the time to write, but unfortunately, it’s not true, or amazing, or exciting. It’s actually quite depressing. Well, not depressing so much as life-altering and annoying and completely and utterly unexpected. But what would life be without those things?
I’m talking about what will now be called the Big Ass Medical Crisis Called Cancer (or BAM-Cs for short). Long story short, my mom went into the hospital the second week of November with fluid around her lungs…fast forward 10 days with no diagnosis, let’s do a full-body cat scan, oh look there’s tumors in your pelvic area….oh wait, you need a hysterectomy…oh, your ovaries looked like cauliflowers…and BAM…your have Stage 1 Ovarian Cancer. And all this during both Thanksgiving and Christmas. And everyone with Ovarian Cancer has to get chemo no matter what. I know, when it rains, it pours.
So, hopefully I will be back writing, especially how much I am learning about life…how you cannot plan everything…how you can’t project anything about the future…how vertigo can rear its ugly head when you are stressed…and how life will have a way of working itself out (even if it doesn’t seem like it at the present moment).
