A Day of Reflection.....Grateful To Be Alive!
A Day of Reflection.....Grateful To Be Alive! When you are faced with a life-threatening condition, you have 2 options: You can give up and surrender or you can fight with every fibre of your being. One year ago, for the second time in just over a decade, I chose the latter. When laying in Emergency, I came ‘this close’ towards crossing over but knew I wasn’t ready. Later, when I was having tests and scans done, a technician said, ‘You must have a guardian angel looking out for you. Not many people survive what you have. But I know you will be OK’. I knew exactly what he meant and those words will resonate forever. Every day was and is a journey. There was a battery of tests and consultations until a comprehensive diagnosis was made and treatment plan outlined. After 6 days, I was sent home, knowing more challenges were ahead and new milestones to reach. I was afraid to go to sleep at night, in case I didn’t wake up. I would say out loud, ‘Please let me wake up tomorrow. I am not ready to leave.’ Now, I am less patient. I don’t ‘sweat the small stuff’. I cringe when I hear or read people whining about what I perceive be trivial stuff. Most of the time, I shake ‘my’ head incredulously, bite ‘my’ tongue and hold back from commenting. I have battled back. I am a long way from where I was a year ago. Not yet a hundred percent but so much closer. Recently the Doctor remarked once again, I am here today because I am a strong, determined and resilient woman. I don’t usually share such personal information about myself. I decided to do so to remind everyone, not to take anything for granted. Live and appreciate each day of your life, the best you can, as you don’t know, if there will be a tomorrow. |

I am glad that I discovered your blog and that you are still blogging. Continue to work on your recovery. I look forward to reading more of your blog.

Good to hear you're doing better. My 2 cents 1. Most of the time, I shake my head incredulously, bite my tongue and hold back from commenting. Don't hold back from commenting, it can release the stress of being around stupid people. 2. Remain a strong, determined and resilient woman. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

When I had my 2nd heart attack, laying on the table as they were taking my clothes off, I couldn't think of anything I had left to accomplish. I felt calm and ready to go if it was my time. The morphine may have had something to do with that.

very wise words! I hope you continue recovering!

Thank you for stopping by and commenting. It was a difficult choice to share this highly personal story. However, the positivity and support has been gratifying. And if it benefits anyone else, it was more than worth it.

I apparently had a "near death" experience, where the Dr. said if I'd been 20 minutes later getting to the hospital I wouldn't have made it. I can't help but think, "if I'd been on the phone with the Provincial Nurse Self-Help Line" just a bit longer, or waited to call them", I wouldn't have been able to drive myself to the hospital emergency room. And I might have killed someone else, on the way there. Unfortunately, I didn't even recall him saying it at the time, and was only made aware of it 17 years after the surgery that apparently saved me - when my sister told me the story. I still haven't "wrapped my head around it". Thanks for reminding me that we "just never know", and we have to make the most of every minute we are given. I'm SO glad you made it through, OK. Check out my profile or and become a "watcher" of my blog FMAOPLS,to learn more about me, and for intelligent, lively, smartassy and fun discussion, with a little irreverence thrown in. "Like" or comment on my photos, and I promise I'll add more. Thanks.

I did have a near death experience but I was too out of it to realize any epiphanies. That did come later though. I was feeling pretty sick when it occurred to me that some people spend their whole lives in that kind of pain and I was only feeling it for the first time. It definitely puts things in perspective. A very thoughtful post, sexy. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

I am glad that you decided to hang on. I don't know what happened to you but I'm glad that you are better. How right you are on fighting or giving up. As an RN in a high acuity Medical ICU I have seen it myself. Many people on the site are agnostic and that's okay. I do believe in a higher power and I think that if it's not our time and we fight he helps us in our fight to live. May you have many more years!!

Once you have been through it and find others who also have, there’s an instant ‘sisterhood’ that others simply don’t understand. Thank you for stopping by and commenting.

very wise words! I hope you continue recovering!

Do not mistake me for now being fragile. Some may think this is a cliche, but ‘what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger’. Nothing or no one, will hold be back.

Thanks for making me stop and take time out of my day to reflect on my good fortunes......... Wishing the continued strength and positive outlook..........

Funny, how so many, including my ‘watchers’, drop by, take a peek and say nothing. Did I scare you off? I am almost 100%....not dead yet!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek. Good wishes are always appreciated.

always something that just stops me and makes realize the good things...

Good Luck and A wish for Good health in your future. We lost our daughter years ago. Had fought the disease with all that we could muster From that time forward I have understood that every day is what you make of it. And it is very frustrating to see other people put things off or worry and complain about petty things Good Luck on your future and I intend to read more of your blog

Definitely a good reminder...we don't know what lies ahead...and appreciating what we have is so important. "Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is relax." – Mark Black

Age often has nothing to do with it. Although, we usually appreciate life and all it’s blessings as we get older. Perhaps it’s because of the effort and life we have lived to that point. Thanks for stopping by and for your encouragement. I am definitely over the worst!

Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in Aug. 2008 and surgery in Nov 2008...I beleive that I have an idea of the troubles that you have faced. In the 11-½ years since - I've had 2 series of Radiation treatments and one series of Hormone treatments. 'Low PSA' levels for the moment. My partner cut me off at the first diagnoses and she has not relented since. Our last time making love was in early August 2008. I joined A.F.F. in 2016. But very little response. I'm over the 50's...but still passionate, still a huge fan of giving cunnilingus and kisses, caresses, cuddles and care. I would love to meet you and see how well we match in all areas: sexual, social, philosophically. Making love is so much more than sex. grampaakela at g mail dot com.
