The New Normal. This phrase, although a little trite and overused, explains well this stage of waiting for surgery. I keep being reminded that I am really sick, first from looking at the dark and darkening circles around my eyes in my pale face in the mirror; and the fatigue, dizziness, fluid retention, shortness of breath, diet change and a medication count that seems to increase with every doctor's visit. But outside of the sleeping, eating, resting / doctor, hospital, pharmacy circles, time passes much as it did before I found out about my condition. And why should that be all that surprising? And so the time passes and I'm told to rest. So I try. But resting isn't always very restful.
And I continue to wait. I'm told that many check this blog every day, and it encourages me.
And I give thanks that so many people are there to care and watch over me so that the waiting-time might be calm. So I'm grateful, and truly rest easy, and continue to wait.
