Day 50 - Halfway Point - April 28th

As the days get closer to my age, it seems like the time is passing even more quickly. Not that I am 50, but what's a couple of years (or quite a few more) at this point in my life! Looking back at some of my original posts, they are becoming distant memories. For some that is good, for others, I am quite happy to leave them in the past. None the less I am forever grateful for the love I felt from so many during this journey.

Days once spent at the Huntsman are now becoming days spent with family, friends and catching up on shopping. Just don't tell Robert I have traded my naps for trips to the store. 

I feel so blessed that I have not faced any infections or sickness during this 50 days. I know that I can blame my wonderful caretaker for keeping such good care of me for that! My life has changed drastically since those first weeks up at the patient care facility, and even since those first few weeks at home. Being able to get out and be with those I care for so much, makes all the difference in the world!  

For those going through these same circumstances, I still need to relate, at this point, even though things have improved drastically, at 50 days in, I'm still not at 100%. There are days, that when overdone, can bring pretty uncomfortable nights. Even days that aren't overdone, usually bring some pain in the evening (but I am sure those 50 + years contribute to that!)  There are also still days that call for a good old cat nap to make it through.  (not complaining about that, by the way)

I never dreamed this time would go so fast, but it does, as we all know. Both the good and the bad, create the memories that are woven into the stories of our lives. It's those stories that can be passed on from generation to generation, either to inspire for the better or for the worse.  We however, get to choose the fabric of our stories!
