I hear myself saying this about many things. 3 years 7 months and 2 days ago the way I reacted to so many things would have been so different. A week of daily unforgiving back pain lead to x-rays which lead to an unofficial diagnosis of scoliosis and kyphosis (hunch back). I'm sure that many years, months, and days ago that would have been traumatizing.
Now?? It is par for the course. I'm relieved it's not the cancer forming in the marrow, lurking, waiting to overtake her system again. Sad, that she will have yet another obstacle. However, I am reminded daily she's winning. In our world minor and moderate health issues are just the bonus of winning a battle with cancer.
The major battle is won so far. However, once in a while, a rogue rebel feels the need to show up and start a stand off. I know though, that just like every other battle she's been handed. She will kick ass with grace, strength, and her sick and twisted humor (she may get that from her mama). For example, she said just think if I get surgery and have a rod in my back I can really be the girl of steel and dress as Supergirl for Halloween.
Cancer the gift that keeps on giving. . and if you don't laugh you'll cry. Since there's no crying in cancer guess that leaves us with our twisted sense of humor.
