Celebrate the good in our lives...

I saw the surgeon a couple of days ago, I'm now booked in to have reconstructive surgery on my wrist next Thursday. I'm personally very exited about this. I am in so much pain and discomfort, and have been for 3 months, I can not wait to have something done about it. I want it fixed,I want positive action taken. Yes it'll be a long road, and 6 months more before I have normal use of it again, but they are all steps forward now. I'm tired of the waiting and the pain and possible backwards steps.

But so many people I talk to, are negative about this surgery. some feel sorry for me, sympathy and sorrow (sorry) only takes you down into your pain further. Some say that all surgery is 'bad' and should be advoided at all costs - yes in some cases, maybe, but my wrist NEEDS surgery. I've done the waiting and it aint going to heal itself. They are sorry it will be long recovery. They tell me of all the risks.

But no, what is done is done, accept it and get on with the solution. Sympathy does nothing positive, it doesnt make one feel better, it only dwells on the past (and the negative past at that).

I am happy I've found a surgeon, who understands the problem and can fix it.

So I am flying high after my leap off the cliff, I've now been booked in for surgery... things are getting better. And surgery on the eve of good friday, easter will leave me with a new begining and fresh healing.

Lets celebrate the good in our lives, you achieve nothing by dwelling on the sorrows.
