"Slow and Steady Wins the Race" is a quote a former student of mine chose from a book of quotes. He's an amazing student and person and I stand to learn a great deal from him.
I changed my surgery date to Friday, November 7th. I spoke with the nurse and she said I would run a higher risk of blood clots, especially if I'm traveling on a long flight. My flight isn't too long but why chance it? Also, they don't think I'll need drains but they won't know until they get in there. If I get drains, I'm screwed. There's no way I can fly with drains. Drains run a much higher risk of infection and we know how contaminated the airport and plane is.
I forgot that I have the LiveStrong and Race for the Cure on back to back weekends. My first free one is November 7th. I've waited this long to get this done what is another few weeks? Besides, it will be an early 32nd birthday and 3 year survivorship present for me.
Send me good vibes, wishes, air hugs...you name it, I want it! I'll have many things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. I will finally say my health, family, friends, job and my sense of wholeness.
