25 Reasons To Be Thankful

For those on Facebook i'm sure you saw the "25 Days of Thankfulness". If not, this is what it looked like
"November 25 is Thanksgiving so I am going to post 25 days of Thankfulness! I encourage you to do the same. " Well I got to day 6 and missed 19 days worth of thankful posts. Instead of trying to catch up on Facebook I thought i'd write down my reasons for being thankful here.

I am thankful:
  • For living during a time that I have options, besides amputation, for dealing with my cancer
  • For my surgeons
  • For my parents. I don't know what we would have done without their help.
  • For my kidletts
  • For good books
  • For Facebook
  • For pain medicine
  • For the technology that allows me the ability to communicate with my friends daily
  • For my husband who gave me my Lovanox shots, made sure I took my medicine, made sure I ate. He also took care of the house, kids, worked full time and went to school while taking care of me.
  • For my friends who called, sent me books, texted and IM'ed me. Also those of you, you know who you are, who still listen to me whine and cry. Thank you
  • For the house we were able to buy this year
  • For my kids' health
  • For the knowledge that even though it's been a crappy 18 months the kids seem well adjusted and happy
  • For good wine and whiskey
  • For Tricare. We are extremely blessed that we haven't had to pay anything for my surgeries or treatments
  • For my physical therapist
  • For my body and the ability for it to heal
  • For the Texas weather
  • For the garden I was able to grow this summer, that is still producing tomatoes and fresh lettuce
  • For my walk-in-shower, people who have had leg surgery or have ever broken their leg know exactly what i'm talking about
  • For ice
  • For hot pads
  • For Netflix
  • For good nurses
  • For no cancer recurance or metastasis
