A Pretty Good WOW Moment!
I used to sing with a group that did an annual Christmas concert, and I have known the director very well since about 1984. I had not seen him for a little over a year (long before my surgery.) Yesterday I went to their annual concert. I was standing in the back waiting to go in, and my friend, the director, walked past me, looking me in the eye the entire time, and just smiling politely. I smiled back. He got about 10 feet past me, stopped DEAD in his tracks and said "Oh, my God! Barb?" He really did not know me! I was astonished, because, as with many of you, I am sure, my head has not caught up with my new body. After the concert at the reception, all my friends who I had sung with for years either looked at my quizzically and walked past, or stopped in disbelief. One guy I had known for 10 years and had traveled to England with asked the friend I was with WHO I WAS!!!!!!! I think that has been my biggest WOW since surgery. No, I take that back. The biggest WOW is that I no longer take any insulin for my once out of control diabetes, I have not had congestive heart failure in over a year, my cholesterol is 120, and my blood pressure is normal. Now, THERE's a real WOW!!! Still battling the depression, and my BIL, who some of you may remember is close to dying of colon cancer, is not doing well. But my DBF wanted to put up the tree yesterday, so he is trying to make the best of the holidays, so the least I can do is be right there with him. Happy Holidays, everyone! 0 Comment(s)
