I am not going to lie I thought recovery would be quicker than the progress I’ve made thus far. I still have really hard days. Every once in a while I will have a day like I feel like I can conquer the world. It’s hard. One step forward and two steps back. I didn’t really know what to expect going into this. I didn’t have high expectations. Physically speaking I haven’t “bounced back” as fast as I as I anticipated. Mentally/emotionally it’s exhausting. I try to take it one day at a time. I try to have patience, which is extremely difficult for me. I will stay the course. A path to recovery.
What a beautiful post Casey! I think the hard days happen to remind you of where you were and how far you’ve come. And to help us, your family and friends remember too: this isn’t just recovering from a regular operation, this is recovering from CANCER. So yes, there will be hard days, but that’s what make the good days that much sweeter. God bless you for trying to have patience (it’s hard for all of us), and for taking life one day at a time. I pray that it will get easier and that the good days will soon outweigh the bad. Til then, like you said, stay the course, and treasure the good days. Wishing you a peaceful weekend and a beautiful holiday Casey. Continued love and prayers from me, Danny and Albert!! <3 <3 <3
