It started out when I walked in at work after a morning doctor appointment much to my surprise all of the staff was dressed in pink and the ladies had matching headbands/hair bows made by Elizabeth. Imagine my shock that I was the only one NOT in pink. But never fear there was a headband for me too. One of the doctors even had on a pink bow tie and the other was sporting a pink ribbon. Then my wonderful coworkers pulled off a total surprise party for me at lunch today. Complete with pink balloons, beautiful flowers, lunch provided by some dear pharmaceutical rep/friends, homemade cake and gifts galore! There was a gift basket with so many useful things I will enjoy over the next several weeks and the most lovely handmade quilt that each of them had a part in (will give details on that after surgery). The two doctors that were not in the office today were even able to come by at lunch. I love each and every one of these people and their families so much! Who wouldn't?
After lunch more visits and gifts from special friends!
Upon arriving home, another friend brought a bag full of snacks for my family to enjoy tomorrow while I enjoy the sleep provided by anesthesia during surgery. My handsome boyfriend came and took me to dinner. Then two other dear friends came by to give hugs and encouragement.
Last night had surgery eve eve dinner with my best gal pal and her man along with my mom and sister. Then we came home to delicious caramel cake sent from Chattanooga with my mom and made by her dear friend Diane. Best gal gave me a precious healing Angel made of clay by a special needs person.
I have received so many calls, visits, well wishes, prayers and text messages today that I am
overwhelmed by the love you all have shown me that Thank You just doesn't seem adequate. I love each of you precious people and appreciate you going on this journey with me! May you each be as blessed as you have blessed me!
Tomorrow brings a full moon, and a new page in this story.
I am a Survivor through My Savior!
