This weekend was a lot of fun. We went to see Circus Sarasota on Saturday night and Sarasota Ballet on Sunday evening. I loved both of the performances. Circus Sarasota is always great....Paul and I never miss it, and of course Sarasota Ballet is my heart beat, as I have so many cherished memories of dancing with the company.
The really exciting part was that I went to both performances only using a cane and only needed it for minimal balance and primarily crowd protection. It is very liberating to be able to travel ever so much lighter now and to sit comfortably in a regular seat without needing to have my leg propped up in some unattractive fashion.
Care free nights out with Paul moving about with little effort.....definitely some of my favorite things these recent days.
I am building a great foundation of strength, fortified with the good times I am currently having to sustain and feed me through the next few months when the chemo begins. Oh, by the way, I am planning to keep the good times rolling despite the inevitable low times my dance with the crystal tower are certain to bring. I am looking to each sunrise as another day to live to love and to learn as much as I can from this crazy life in this unpredictable, wacky, wonderful world!
Been a lot of talk about ruby slippers, but ya gotta check these suckers out....

Keep aiming high my friend! ;)
FYI, after reading about all of your recent activities, I kinda feel like a shut in!!
Kathy, you were an absolute vision last night when you put down that cane and did a "little stroll." To be more precise a "sassy little stroll." You are INCREDIBLE!! Laci and I were proud of you. Your dedication and your frame of mind are taking you on a bullet train to freedom from those additional appendiges like that cane. It does serve as excellent crowd control though, I saw you nudge that old man aside so you could get out the front door - just kidding :) And your leg looked perfect, no big defect from the surgery. And it appeared as though an artiste sutured your wound because with time, that baby is going to be like a long thin thread that will serve as a subtle reminder that life threw you a curve ball.
ReplyDeleteI loved it when Laci gave you a hug so big he lifted you up off your feet!! He cares for you so much; you have become such a part of our family, Kathy.
I read a quote today and it reminded me of you.
""Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.""
Rabindranath Tagore
You will continue to have clouds while attached to the crystal tower, but they too will add only color to your sunset sky!
Love you Girlfriend!
