The Prompt today is co. This is appropriate for me, because I think of my relationship with my daughter as co parent. Yes she has a wonderful husband and in-laws and eight children, but I think we co parent each other. She is always there for me and vice versa. She pushes me to do things I probably should but don’t and we consult on life situations like cos do!😂.
The last two weeks have been nerve wracking for me and of course her, in turn. I had a colonoscopy on August first and had to wait til yesterday to know results. You may have noticed I haven’t been a barrel of laughs lately, partly because of worry, and pain. But today I found the polyps removed were large and pre cancerous, not colon cancer and revisit the lovely procedure in six months.
I wouldn’t have been worried as much if I hadn’t already had uterine and bladder cancer–so thought, okay, maybe I should have the lower half of my body removed to be healthy! Pain in my lower back for other reasons had me worried. That’s the worst thing about cancer. Even if they say operation successful, you are cured, it seems any abnormal pain makes your brain click into fear overdrive and that’s what I’ve been living with the last two years.
Anyone you have a close relationship with shares these fears even if they don’t talk about it. It’s probably even worse for them. That’s what co means to me.
Bottom line, pun intended, I am okay and relieved. So celebrate your health, go for tests, take care of yourself, and if you have questions, are afraid of anything, ask me, or talk to me, I am always here if you want to ask me anything, I’ll answer honestly. My email is provided.
