It's the night before my next surgery on the road to reconstruction. Surgery will take about three hours and it will be my fifth one (counting my lumpectomies and mastectomy) with one more left to go in the process, about three months from now.
It is almost one year ago to the day that I found the lump that started all this. I'm so sick and tired of all the starts and stops, the pain and healing, and the regaining of strength only to lose it again.
The recovery time for this surgery is 4-6 weeks though I'm hoping I will be allowed to continue my daily walks...I've built up to about an hour a day and I'm really enjoying it!
Below is an excerpt from one of my favorite songs called Broken by Lifehouse. It has a lot of meaning for me, especially now.
Please keep me and my family in your prayers! Thank you.
"The Broken clock is a comfort
It helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow
From stealing all my time
And I am here still waiting
Though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best
Like You've already figured out
I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
That's still beating
In the pain
There is healing
In Your name
I find meaning
So I'm holding on (I'm holdin on)(I'm holdin on)
I'm barely holding on to You
I'm hanging on another day
Just to see what, You will throw my way
And I'm hanging on, to the words You say
You said that I will, will be okay
The broken light on the freeway
Left me here alone
I may have lost my way now
But I haven't forgotten my way home" (Broken) Lifehouse

I can see how that song speakes to you. Glad you are holding on.
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3
Remember, joy comes in the morning.
I'll see you Thursday : )
