Re: relay for life lap

thanks everyone it was a very moving night, i had carved one of my angels to be raffled off and was afraid i wasn't going to be able to make the walk due to three hour trip to my surgeons the day before and that night had to go to the funeral home to say so long to a friend who wasn't as fortunate as i was against this horrible disease, it took two hours to get through that line..my leg was very very swollen, i now have lymphedema in this leg due to radiation and surgery ..but i figured as bad as it was hurting i still had my leg and i was still alive, who am i to complain when my friend just lost his life....but the ladies at rehab that morning did extra lymphatic massage on me extra light therapy (for scar tissue) and applied extra glue to my compression hose to keep it up...they did an amazing job they are so wonderful..and i made it barley and i was about last ..but i made it thanks everyone to di and herb congratulations to ya'll as well , a couple of weeks ago i got stuck behind a train and waited thirty mins for it to pull up and back...a year ago i would have been about to lose my mind wishing they would hurry up!!! the other day i turned my truck off rolled the windows down and just enjoyed sitting there...cause i was able to still be here to sit

Re: relay for life lap

Congratulations on completing the lap and beating back cancer. The mental and physical drain is enormous; but, as you stated, it makes you well aware of your mortality. It makes you appreciate the things you had ignored and ignore things that would have been intolerant before.

. At first I simply wished for sufficient time to "put my house in order". As the years rolled by this desire lessened to the hope that I would make it long enough to...(this was a changing list)... Gradually, this hopefulness changed into a gratefulness for the extra time I have been allowed. After 15 extra years, I find that my fear of death was not of the unknown; it was of missing something. This immunization against the fear of death has expanded even further my appreciation and concentration on the good things in life.
