I have to say that today was hands down the most “ordinary” day since my diagnosis nearly 2 weeks ago. I got up, got ready, drank a protein shake, went to work…….you know, the usual!

The most exciting thing that happened was that the pre-op nurse called to give me my specific surgery time! 2:30pm this Thursday with a noon arrival! It still doesn’t seem real.

I am still completely overwhelmed by the unwavering love and support I am receiving from family, friends and co-workers. I have elected to keep this whole thing off of social media for now. It’s all happened so fast that I fear if I post something now that I’ll realize quickly that I totally missed telling someone who should have heard personally from me.

Courtney came over and we CLEANED my house from top to bottom which felt amazing. We grilled out, relaxed and I got a pretty good nights sleep.

It feels good to have a “normal” day! A day that I don’t think constantly about all of this. I just want to feel the way I did before I found out I had cancer. With a few exceptions. I want to keep my new found understanding, empathy, awareness of those around me and a general appreciation for every moment of every day. I have absolutely been forever changed.
