So just a quick update, I am back to daily packing and daily nurse visits. I was so happy and lucky to get my old nurse back, it makes it much easier so I don't need to repeat my story over again. Maggie is amazing and excellent with wound care, so I know I'm well taken care of. I am once again on antibiotics because we believe an infection is starting, better safe then sorry I guess. I am starting to get all to familiar with antibiotics and wound care products. I am trying to remain positive even though I am extremely frustrated and angry that this has happened again. I went to physio today and part of my upper body exercises was to punch a bag with weights in my hands to relieve some frustration and stress. BOY did it feel good lol! Exactly what I needed. Now to take it easy, relax whenever possible and try to let this wound heal and hopefully quickly.
Why Me? This is still a question I ask myself quite often, almost too often. I've asked my oncologist from day one why me? Her response to me, there is no reason Laura why you got cancer, you didn't eat anything, you didn't do anything to get it. This is the mystery of cancer, no one knows why people get it. It's a horrible disease and I think I'm just starting to see how horrible it really is. I have friends and family who are cancer survivors, I've spent a lot of time confiding in them and talking about my struggles. My 2 friends who both are cancer survivors are the most positive people I know and a huge inspiration to me and when I'm having a rough time with things I turn to them. One of them is my best friend who is a cancer survivor going on 9 years and another is a former coworker who also survived cancer and has been cancer free for 3 years. It's not that I can't talk to other friends or family about my struggles but sometime...
