Update

Two weeks from today I will be in the operating room at this very moment undergoing a bilateral mastectomy followed by the first stage of reconstruction. I'm growing more anxious by the day but still know with certainty it's the right thing for me. I'm busy getting ready for my surgery but thought I would give a quick update on some things.

1. My surgery is on Tuesday, June 21st. It was suppose to have taken place on May 20th but I got sick and was also unsure of somethings so the surgery was canceled. I'm very happy how everything has turned out and pray I can be healthy enough to have the surgery as scheduled.

2. My sweet Harley is doing great! I do believe (knock on wood) I finally have him potty trained which has made my life so much easier. I just fall more in love with him every day!

3. My Dad is doing fantastic! It's been five months since his open heart surgery and he is doing so well. I'm so grateful each and every time I get to hug him and thank God for the surgeon that was able to replace the torn valve in his heart to help him heal.

4. Overall, I am doing much better. I had shared how much I was struggling in this post here. For a few months after I wrote that post, things got even worse. In time however my heart began to heal and I'm in a much better place emotionally now that I have been in a very long time. I thank you all for helping me through that process.

I hope to post more before my surgery but if time gets away from me, I would like to thank you now for all the support you have all given me since starting this blog over a year ago. I can not accurately put into words how much your friendship means to me. I love you guys!!
