I was told this would happen...
so, today I had to pick up my mother from the same surgery room where I had my breast cancer surgery eight months ago. I wasn't really thinking about it until I walked into the recovery room and saw the same recliner chair where I was prior to surgery.
Then it happened. Tears flowing all down my face, fear rising up in me just like the day of surgery, lack of focus, you know, all those emotions. I had the meltdown right there in the middle of the room. Not fun and embarrassing to say the least. But, it happened and I knew it would, just didn't know were or when. Maybe now that it is over, I won't have another one.
Thought I would share with those who truly know how I feel.
Blessings,
Tonya
