Survivor

Survivor... Its an interesting concept. I always considered myself a survivor of life. Always determined, always pushing foward, always picking up the pieces when life is determined to break me down. But yesterday survivor took a whole new meaning. The Sally's were able to raise over $1,000 dollars for the National Brain Tumor Walk. There were dozens of people supporting the cause.. it was so great to see. The survivors were given blue shirts instead of white and asked to take a picture together. The survivors were from all walks of life, age, ethnicity, diagnosis.. We had one thing in common. Battled or battling brain tumors. We were breathing, standing, walking while thousands have lost or are losing their fight with this disease.I felt truly lucky and blessed. :)

Today is my first post. I almost made it through the work day without feeling sick.. until 3.. all downhill from there. My mom had to come pick me up and take me home. Frustrated does not begin the cover how I feel. It is less than a month until my surgery.. its been a long year waiting. Overwhelmed basically sums up how i feel. For a person that relishes independence it is going to be tough to rely on other people. I have to "let other people take care of me"... A strange concept  :/ Tomorrow is the National Brain Tumor Walk and the Sally's have raised over $1,000. :) Im excited about tomorrow.
