My soul will not be embolized

Fibroid embolization happens tomorrow in about 13 hours. I am nervous but hopeful. To be relieved of the pain and fullness will be eventually good. I expect to have really bad pain but to get some good drugs. It's strange that it is a quality of life issue. I want to be more comfortable. I want to return to sparring.

I don't want to go into menopause but it will happen anyway. If it does as a result of embolization then low-grade estrogen should help. I am struck that I've really hit middle age. That I could have past the halfway mark of my life. On the other hand, I do hope to be 100. Either way, I want to resolve to enjoy each moment and live each moment every day. My ordinary life is my life, my ordinary, wonderful life. While it's not what I once imagined it would be it is what I want it to be which in all respects is better than my conjectures.

My son's ADHD continues to try us but we are embarking on new treatments. His prognosis has improved. I feel optimistic. I see glimpses and some times whole moments of the sweet, loving boy he is. My daughter is ever delightful and amusing. Though my partner and I worry about the effects of our son's issues on her, she remains a resilient kid. I love my kids. No regrets there.

My partner is my anchor. I would not be who I am with out her. She has been a positive, loving influence on me. I am a better person because of her. I am so lucky to have her. It is a wonderful thing to have someone chose to love you and to have her love you. I still marvel that she loves me. That I have a love. A love of my life. I am blessed and humbled. I love her immensely.

So, my life is good. I have people I love who love me. Other family and friends love me and are concerned about, what is not, relatively, a major procedure. I am in folks' "thoughts and prayers", wishes and concerns. People are "there for me." I should let them know if I need any thing. I realize I have what I needed from them: that I matter. I am thankful. Appreciative and blessed. I will be fine.

I am thankful for all and every one, every one, I have. Thank you all. God bless.
