Hi Tonya!
It's so good to hear from you. I know your daughter must be so excited to be moving up into junior high! Graduation to the next level will be so fun. Seems that kids just grow so fast and move up so quickly.
I'd be soooooo frustrated with your wound too. You've dealt with it for a long time and it just won't co-operate, will it. But I'll bet, over time, it will begin to make a "home for itself" and feel more natural. I think it is very important. We work so hard to get through chemo and radiation and whatever else, we just want to have some "normal" life again. (Whatever that is)
Best wishes for a speedier recovery and a lot more joyful days.
Much love, ma
