Blessings

I got bad news from my doctor last week....another surgery for me. I have a cyst caused by my endometriosis on my ovary which has doubled in size since December. In order to "save" the ovary, surgery is necessary. This makes for #4. I was pretty upset when the doctor revealed the bad news, but have been overcome by so many blessings in the last few days. 1) I have a wonderful husband who is very supportive and understanding. I could not ask for a better guy! I love him so much. 2) We have awesome family and friends who truly care about us and would do anything for us. 3) I'm grateful for modern medicine. Being that this is surgery #4 I know pretty much exactly what to expect. The surgeries are done laprascopically and only take 4-5 days to recover from. Aside from the incision pain, they aren't too bad. 5) I'm grateful for my health. Despite the struggles that I do have, it could definitely be worse. We have a friend who is going through chemo right now and I realized that my problems are minimal when looking at the grand scheme of things. 6) Kurt has a good job that offers awesome benefits. Comparative to others, our insurance is really good with small deductibles and co-pays. I'm blessed to have these little reminders in my life that bring me happiness and joy when I'm feeling down.
