Referral

I met with the surgeon yesterday for a postoperative check up. My incision is healing well and there are no signs of infection, so I went into the meeting kinda expecting to be discharged.

Instead I have a referral to oncology radiology for radiation therapy. I’m awaiting their call, consult, and treatment plan.

I will be brave and face this, take it on, and beat it. But not today. Today, I’m a blubbering mess who got sent home to blubber in private. I really, really-and I can’t emphasize this enough-really need to catch a break. Soon.

Painting has become my therapy. This is one of my few named pieces. I call it ‘What Love Looks Like.’
