I think I might change the title of this blog to “I work, I mom, I cook… I get sliced open” because lately that seems to be happening just as much. Since the last time I posted here…
- I got pregnant
- Had a baby boy via c-section
- Found out a month later that I had a benign brain tumor (my second!)
- Weaned my 6-week-old in a week
- Underwent brain surgery that lasted 14 hours
- Woke up from surgery and couldn’t move my left arm
- Spent two weeks in a rehabilitation hospital
- Had another operation in early November to figure out why my arm still doesn’t work
- Have double vision
My body is scarred and weary. My spirit is drained. I am physically and mentally worn out. But I’m still here, plugging away. I’m still here because, as a mom, what choice do I have? My kids’ lives go on; there is still laundry to do, dinners to be made, stories to be read, potting training, diapers, bottles… the list is endless.
