January 14th, our new best day

January 14th is quite a big day. Not only was it my 1 year anniversary of my double mastectomy surgery but my mom had hip replacement yesterday! Quite the deja vu...the hospital, the doctors, the waiting, the hospital room, the food...yuk!

Seeing my mom as the patient was such a weird thing. This past year, I have been the one to sit in the chair, get my blood taken, get more drugs and diections from doctors! And all along that process, I was always thinking that I'm so glad it is me and not my mom, my sister or my friend. After seeing my mom yesterday, it's confirmed. I don't like when she's in the patient chair. I just want her to be healthy!!!

Now, the day, January 14, is now to be considered a great day. A day when two lives were changed. One woman will live a long beautiful life without breast cancer and the other will have a full life fulfilled with being able to walk, run, skip, dance and pick up those future grandkids she keeps whining about! I'm so thankful. Life is good.
