Well, what…a year. Although technically not as pummeling as last year, but maybe it was.<\/p>\n

  • When I was rolled into surgery<\/li>\n
  • When before surgery I was trying to insist that I would not lose memory of that moment<\/li>\n
  • When I drove Chris to the ER in the middle of the night<\/li>\n
  • When I sat next to him at the ER and ICU for two nights, 3 day\/li>\n
  • Eating horrible hospital pureed food\n
  • Mealtrain for surgery recovery<\/li>\n
  • How people sent messages of care and concern after that first cancer treatment<\/li>\n
  • The pride I still had about writing the FAQ of my diagnosis and treatment<\/li>\n
  • The shock and relief after learning that I didn’t need chemo at all<\/li>\n
  • The surprise that I had realizing that I could just return back to normal life<\/li>\n
  • But also realizing that I had to return all the awkwardness of work (but the joy of feeling valued)<\/li>\n
  • Telling everyone this phrase “every September for the last three years, I was pregnant…” in response to a milestones icebreaker<\/li>\n
  • Receiving the mealtrain after Chris returned from the hospital<\/li>\n
  • The amazing amount of time that I spent onm my phone after the surgery during recovery<\/li>\n
  • The moment that I walked as exercise after surgery but was surprised that I couldn’t walk that much<\/li>\n
  • Going to AWP and seeing sooooo many friends and acquaintances who became friends<\/li>\n
  • The LA trips…that somehow became more comfortable because I reconnected with a grad school friend, went to a reading club, went to a book club, feeling like I found a community of my own in a temporary home<\/li>\n
  • The visit to Arizona that was so ridiculously hot but spent time with my sister and nephew<\/li>\n
  • Doing the 5 minute Ignite pecha kucha talk that encompassed 5 years of life about all those horrible negative events and what it meant to me<\/li>\n
  • But getting annoyed by some of the conversations afterwards<\/li>\n
  • Being so surprised by friends and family’s generosity especially during mealtrain and those just showed up<\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
