A January We Did Not Expect!

 What a January!

We started off at a run and ended up in the hospital for a week!  Needless to say, this is a January for the books!

To be honest, we knew it was going to be a tough month.  The Farmer husband had finally decided to have both knees replaced... at once!  Not an easy feat, but if you know him, you know his discipline and motivation are strong.  His ortho agreed and so surgery was set... and it went fine... for 24 hours.


But somewhere in his body, the wiring went haywire and his electrolyte balances went nuts.  48 hours post-surgery his sodium had crashed and things happened fast. He was transported to a high level hospital in the metroplex where we remained for the next 4 days in the critical care unit.  

We learned a lot!  Low sodium levels can cause severe muscle weakness, heart arrhythmias and wacky altered mental status.  Like really wacky!  Bless his heart.  If it wasn't so scary, it would have been hilarious... like the star favorite at everyone's party!  In hindsight, I am so relieved to know he never lost his sense of humor even when things were bad.  (A Blessing I never knew I needed!)

Happy to report we are at home and starting for real on recuperation and physical therapy!

Ready to shuffle off into February!  May you be kind to us!

Welcome 2024!

 


Looking ahead...
A Brand New Year, a Blank page.
A Fresh Start.

Trusting better things ahead.

So,
Take the trip. Snap the pictures.
Make the memory.

Baby steps...
but,
Do. The. Things.

Opt for Adventure.
Write the letter.
Let go of 2023.
Spend time well.

I am not naive.
I know cancer will dictate much of the journey...
but not all.

Choose grace for yourself.
Give space for the difficult.
Cry the tears.

Then,
Do the things that stir your heart.

Here's to better days ahead!

Welcome 2024!

Goodbye 2023!

 One last thought as December brings the year to a close...


And I like the thought behind this meme.  In general, it's refreshing to declutter and delete things that don't add value to your life... but... then there's the world of Cancer.

Not so simple.  If we could just hit the delete button and start over.  Remove the cancer and all the ensuing battles, the heartache and the pain.  

As we all know, all too well, there is no Delete button. Sigh... So, where do we go on this last day of December?  Closing the chapter on 2023 and heading straight into the unknown of 2024.  A blank book... an unwritten story... 

I have decided to add another word to the list.

De-voted.  Like being devoted to the things and people that matter.  The passions and the dreams that drive our decisions.

Devoting ourselves to living our lives well... De-spite the baggage of a cancer diagnosis.

Join me in bidding 2023 adieu and facing 2024 with a De-votion to all the things that matter most.

That will lead to a live de-finitely well lived!

My Love, Always,
Jane
