One Week

It has been a week since my second surgery for the cancer on/in my arm, the lymph node removal under my arm, and the skin graft. One week of recovery. One week of waiting for the lymph node biopsy results. One week of pain management. One week of boredom. One week of loss of control. Unlike a week of vacation, one week feels like a really, really long time when you are waiting for news on your own health. I am right here. Waiting.
