The Lost Summer!!

Sorry to say this past month of July was a definite washout for me!
Of course if you love hot, humid, steamy weather....you probably enjoyed it.
I, on the other hand had major surgery and between that and the intensely hot humid weather here in New England the whole month of July while trying to recuperate, I basically became a recluse.

I stayed inside my air conditioned place where it was nice and comfortable.
You could not even step outside for a breath of air. There was none! It felt like walking into an oven. I really hate the heat!

Hopefully, I will try and make up for lost time this weekend and get to the beach, finally.

In the meantime, the reason I'm writing this blog is because I learned a lot about myself and others by my recent health issue. One of the things I learned is that when your sick you really find out about people. Which ones care, which ones call and which ones are really there for you. It can be very depressing when your missing part of your support system, and I won't say who, but I think that hurt me more than the pain I had from the operation. Yes, that pain was definately worse. The lack of empathy and insensitivity to what I'd gone through was defining for me. I will forgive but I will never forget. Never!

All I can say is, Thank God for my sweet husband and caring sister! I love them both very, very much. My prognosis is excellent and I'm a lucky lady!! Carole
