Piece by piece...(Migrated from PostHope - minus the photos)

 As we enter the weekend, I thought I'd share some photos since I actually haven't heard from the doctors on the final recommendation from the tumor board. We remain hopeful that no further treatment will be needed. I've never been a puzzle fanatic, but this gift from a good friend - also dealing with her own medical issues with a prolonged recovery time - has been a helpful practice and metaphor for the slow progress, piece by piece, of healing in my body.  Getting the framework of the puzzle put together felt like such a milestone.  There are days when I look at all the possible pieces and just can't find the one I am looking for to complete a section - and then the next day I find it.  It was always there, but rushing a puzzle just doesn't seem to work.  There are similarities in healing - my outsides look fairly normal but inside there is still much healing taking place. These photos, which I had trouble sharing in my last post, represent the many gifts of friendship, acts of kindness, love, encouragement, and hope I have received from so many. 💕

Love to all of you,

Dawn Noelle
