Venting
Im sorry, but I'm tired out. Since I've told only a small handful of friends, it seems they're all unloading all their issues on me..I'm exhausted. I'd love it if they also asked how I am, but they don't, that's why I see a therapist, so I can unload. It doesn't seem right. It hurts

Today's Thoughts
Today had my maectomy. I'm so glad this part is over. Didn't pack till 4am this morning. I'm glad. BuT, I have an unusual observation. When I was being prepped, my surgeon came in and held my hand. He held it for about 5 mins. I didn't know what to think, still don't. Has anyone else experienced this?
