Looking through clear eyes

Waking up feeling good!  Wow does this feel great!!

I realize now that I have been feeling sick for about a month- congestion and sinuses that were painful and a cough that shook my whole body.  It feels so freeing to be rid of all of that!  I am ready to enjoy life again to the fullest!

Life really is good for this family!  We are heading into summer with such anticipation and excitement.  It will be divided into a few weeks of fun before surgery and then the rest will be a recovery summer for me again.,,

June 15th-- This is the day of final reconstruction.  I am having a procedure called a Tram flap Breast Reconstruction.  "The TRAM flap (transverse rectus abdominus myocutaneous) is a tissue flap procedure that uses muscle, fat and skin from your abdomen to create a new breast mound after a masectomy."  Recovery will be much longer than last summers surgery but after this I will be DONE!!  In July I will be Breast Cancer free and ready to get on with life!

Before all of that, we all have to finish off the school year.  The twins will finish Kindergarten and Katelynn will complete 4th grade.  I am finishing up my last year in the Gifted program and get ready to go full time and teach 6th grade math.  We are all looking towards exciting new adventures in the upcoming year.  It is time on our journey to soar!!!
