It’s been nearly one week since my last hospital visit.  It’s been nearly one week since my tubes came out.

The past week I have felt more like myself than I have in two months.  No more tubes sticking out of my chest.  No more shoulder pain and no more oozing wound.  I have felt more energetic and lighter than I have done in months.

I have three more weeks of freedom before I go back to the white building of needles and disinfectant.  I am going o enjoy these next three weeks as a reminder of what I’m fighting for.  A reminder of how life can be again, one day.

For now I’m free and just ordinary me again.  For now the circus is having a Christmas break and I’m not missing it all.

I’m free.
