Today has been hard.  I keep hoping I will snap out of it and realize that things are just not that bad.  I just keep thinking about it... surgery, being in the hospital, pain, etc.  I had a discussion with my mom this morning about advance directives and what I want if I can't speak for myself.  It's hard to talk about, because it is important.  Important things are often difficult to discuss. 
To tell you the truth, I'm scared.  There is a huge part of me that just does not want to do this.  And I don't have much to do except do things to get ready for the surgery, which is not too fun.  I went to see the movie UP today and cried through half of it.  I was warned that it was a pretty touching movie, but my goodness...  so I suppose I am prepared for my new adventure??
One of the things about being in a sensitive place is that everything is interpretted in light of one's situation.
Luckily, I have friends visiting this week and I hope it will be a welcome break from being inside my own head.
I've been praying, I want to feel good about all of this, but right now I don't.  I can't even articulate it in writing very well.  I've been drawing some, which is something I used to do all the time.  I wish my writing were better right now, but it isn't. 
I'm overwhelmed.
