As a care giver, taking care of your loved one during the cancer journey: it was a natural adjustment to make changes in your schedule for treatments, appointments, doctor visits or even a haircut.
It was a team concept. As long as you were together, it seemed like anything was possible. HOPE and HEALING came in two’s.
So, now I’m facing an out patient procedure next week and my strong, solid wall, that I leaned on for so many years, isn’t here to support me.
He isn’t here to drive me to the clinic, he isn’t here to sit in the waiting room. I’ll get no “You’ll be fine” speech and no kiss “good-luck.”
This is really the first time since he’s been gone, that I’ve faced something like this and I really feel his absence.
Good friends have stepped-up and they’ll watch over me but it’s just not the same.
Six and a-half years and I’m facing yet another adjustment from this cancer experience.
The list just keeps growing….

Hey Laurie, just came back here for a quick see and read this.. I also read it all went well! Praise God! I am so greatful for all you do for us, wish I could wave that magic wand for you and make all those fears we encounter go away! I was glad to read it all is good, you had support and friends to help you through.
We are and always will be the prayer warrior’s and the lifters for each other. I bet the “Our Cancer” group from days past stops in from time to time, just like I did to make sure all is well. We’re still here, “lifting”.
Thanks Laurie for continuing to tend this garden!
Laurie

Remember those little steps, one foot in front of the other, one after another, you will get there. Looking back you’ll wonder how you did it but you did.

Wish I could just wave a wand and be there to help you. Thank goodness for your friends who probably feel honored that you are letting them lend some assistance.

Best wishes to you for a successful outcome. Lean on friends as they have at times leaned on you.
