Time for an Anniversary
Time is the greatest healer One year on and I cannot believe I am writing that today is my one year thyroidectomy anniversary. Time has both scuttled on and stilted to a halt. My darling Is (And Mum in the reflection ;) ) (Trigger Warning: Cancer, Medical Trauma.) Today I am filled with mixed feelings. I am grateful that I am sitting here able to write and with my voice safely intact. However, I cannot help but keep looking at the clock knowing that this time last year I was 'under' and being investigated like a game of Operation. So far, I have been told to remember that this was last year and that I am no longer there. Yes, this is true, but the deeper truth is how I cannot believe I went through that, and the trauma that I carry from that. What no one prepares you for is the psychological healing. My scar on my neck might have faded and is healing to a silver line, a twisted piece of jewellery...
