One year has come and gone

Yesterday was the one year mark from the date of my surgery. It was a day filled with mixed emotions and retrospection. The entire day turned out completely different than I expected.

I had looked forward to this day for months thinking it would be a day of grand celebration, but it hasn't been that at all. Don't get me wrong, I am extremely happy to be here and I am very excited to be alive! But the day was just another ordinary day...no fanfare, no balloons, nothing.

I was a little disappointed that not a single friend or family member took time to call or send a card congratulating me but I guess they just forgot, after all, this celebratory day wasn't something that really affected all of their lives, only mine.

At the end of the day, I did have a big bowl of Moose tracks ice cream, and you know, ice cream always makes everything better!

One year of survival down and hopefully, many more to go...
