Happy Belated New Year to all of you. Although you have not heard from us, we have been busy. In another post I will share with you the meaningful New Year’s process my family shared together. It is definitely formulating our actions in this year and serving as a guidepost for our decisions. The power of this process is evident in each one of my family members’ activities this year. We all have been inspired by it. So, please read the next entry and enjoy.
This past week Tony and I went to NYC for my final surgery. On Wednesday we showed up early at the New York University Hospital to meet Dr. Robert Allen for him to “refine, tweak and add some dimension (i.e. nipple)” to my already beautifully reconstructed breast. I have to admit, I had some nerves running that morning and felt a bit squeamish about the whole thing. Tony was right there being supportive and comforting as he has been through this entire journey. To my surprise and delight it was absolutely no big deal. In fact, immediately afterwards I felt so good that I wanted to walk a mile or so in the brisk air to get a bite to eat. Following that we went to a movie. Who would have guessed?!
All this to say….I am officially closing this chapter of the journey…it is “tweaked”, complete and thoroughly finished. So mode it be.
Off to pilates! Love, Teresa
