Sending you a big hug. My surgery was in April and I cried for no reason, the drama of it all and more surgery the doc said to come.
Then two weeks before Christmas my husband abandoned He wasn't up for the situation
as he became confused and we think he had a stroke during my surgery days he won't eat or drink. I turned to my faith in desperation. By the grace of God I was able not be moved emotionally when I had lunch with him and my grandchildren during Christmas. When you walk through this with the
ones you love, we are blessed. Sharing on this site. "We light each others candle" with hope and helpful medical information.

Elizabeth I get where you are coming from "I am the same on the inside"
Sometimes I forget (or don't want to admit) the toll this cancer has taken. I make plans to work in the garden ...but my oxygen cord doesn't reach far...I take off the oxygen (yes I cheat 🙂 and I can't work very long...but in my head I am still able to do everything I could before. I am still surprised when I look in the mirror and see the oxygen tubing, it is all I see. The point is sometimes we put the burden of what we can or can not do on our selves. We see ourselves as still being 100% and refuse to work with the limitations we have. If we take an honest look at our own lives it is easier for others to see us as we are now. Don't know if this makes any sense but it is my perspective.
