I’m in lockdown. Congested. Hopefully, this surgery will not get canceled. Meet my gerbil. Kinda creepy. Don’t look for pity or sympathy; guess where you find sympathy in the dictionary. Empathy and respect are much more important. How you deal with the hand you’re dealt defines the person. Bad day for me–hated everyone and everything. Perhaps my biggest challenge is about to happen. As close to a transplant as possible. A newfound respect for my father’s comments. Far too short of time I had with him. Don’t let me game face fool ya, I’m petrified, but this is a chance at life. Have a great one, see you on the other side. Looking for names for my gerbil.
You’re a fantastic human, Beth! I love you!!!!
