Well I am so enjoying having a blog to unload my darker stuff along with the uplifting positive stuff that takes over my brain like a rollercoaster. My sister sent me a dry erase board and colored pens a few days ago, so I mapped out my last 3 weeks of treatments and appointments, to give me a visual glance for the light at the end of the treatment tunnel.
While waiting on hold for almost an hour for HealthNet customer service tonight, I started doodling with fat pens and ended up with a 5 legged Beast of which I am riding. Thought I'd share that, too. With 10 treatments left to go, and the lymph node full of cancer now almost imperceivable to the doctor's exam, I am starting my true new year countdown.
I wish I had the illustrative skills of many of my cousins or daughter (Bob, Shelly, Sasha) - coulda done something dark and meaningful, but the symbolism is spot on.
My sister's caring gift put to good work. She has been an amazing angel for me.

Pretty sure neither Bob, Shelly or Sasha could have captured your visualization of YOU battling the beast! Pretty expressive! Glad you are seeing the ray of sunshine waiting for you at the end if this horrific side trip called life!
ReplyDeleteLove you!
Cousin Julie suggested the dry erase board do you wouldn't have to talk - you could write down your thoughts W out bring in pain. I jumped on the idea! You have put it to great use!
