I’ve always known my doctors were special and I had found the best team for me. But tonight made me realize how lucky I am.
Yesterday around dinner time my pulmonologist called to check in and see how I was feeling. I assumed that was my check in and i would talk to her again at a follow up.
This morning the nurses called to check in make sure I didn’t need anything. Today was an emotional day. I hardly slept last night bc I was uncomfortable , I was hot and cold, I’d fall asleep and wake up covered in sweat. Today I asked Bryan to take me out and we ran and got a pink drink. I responded to work emails and just chilled in bed for most of the day.
Tonight I moved to the couch and sat with Bryan, the boys and Roxie. We had dinner watching cartoons and chilaxed. At 7:45 my phone rang from Lahey. I answered in case. It was my pulmonologist. She wanted to check on me see how I was doing and then said she was in complete awe at how I am handling everything. At how optimistic I am staying and how strong I am. I immediately started crying because I swear the anesthesia does that to me. I explained that I am not always like this but I have the best support system and two boys I am fighting like hell to see grow up. I said it wouldn’t be possible with all my team, family, friends and doctors.
Im not writing this to toot my own horn, I write this to remember this and go back and read it on the days I am not feeling particularly strong. On the days when I don’t feel like being strong or that I can’t do it anymore. Thank you to everyone that tells me I am strong and admire the fight I am fighting! Thank you to my friends that reached out today to check on me and see if I needed anything! I love you all! Thank you to my family that has stood by me even on my bad days when I thought I couldn’t do this anymore! I love you guys. And I am sorry that you have to fight this fight with me!!!! Xoxo
