Post-op, Challenging Beliefs, Discernment, and Thank You 💛✨
Friday I had my Post-Op visit with the surgeon. The staple headband was removed, the pathology report shows the tumor was between Grade 1-2, closer to 1- this translates to a 90% chance that the tumor will
not recur 🤗 I have been cleared to do a few more things as I feel ready and encouraged to rest as much as my body requests. A fabulous report and I am beyond grateful. I am grateful for my care team and surgeon, for the amazing women and men who are nurses, for the rock-solid support of my family, friends, and community.
I believe that energy can be felt. Your hopes, prayers, voice messages, texts, FB replies, generosity, and acts of service are deeply felt and wildly appreciated. They feel like the energy of love, support, solidarity, empowerment, and grace. You all have shown me that some of my conditioned beliefs are wrong. You have demonstrated the opposite and offered me a new window through which to see that help is reliable and that it does not always come with strings, conditions, and expectations.
I am learning to sit with myself and see further discernment through this changing lens. Discernment specifically around “Just because I can, doesn’t mean I should.” Just because I can/it won’t physically kill me) move without help. Just because I can push myself to be productive and push through exhaustion doesn’t mean I should… the examples just keep on coming.
Love growth opportunities ✨
Thank you for helping me see through a clearer lens and for loving me so well. I appreciate you more than I can express with words, I hope you can feel the energy of my profound gratitude.
