We have now officially cancelled 4 surgeries. We've been ready and willing, but Gisele has been unwell before three of the surgeries. One was cancelled because I was still recovering from strep throat and a torn chest muscle. I wanted to be strong enough to carry her.
Now we're in June and it feels like we've already been through 4 surgeries. I wouldn't have thought that was a good thing, but it feels like I've made a breakthrough. The surgery is starting to feel light and breezy, not scary like before. We talked to Gisele's surgeon, who is a lovely woman, and she has now given Gisele multiple surgery dates in July, one in August and several in September. She'll be well on one of those days and then we'll have the surgery and all will be well.
In the meantime, I will continue to practice mindfulness, calmness and serenity. Gisele will continue to be her usual self - practicing joy, happiness and laughter.
