Happy New Year

Here it is 2012 already! I don't know where the time went. Our tree is down and decorations put away....except for the snowman collection..... for another year. No New year's resolutions here yet, but I am trying to come up with something by the end of the week, I don't believe it needs to be made on the very first day of the year!!
I am feeling much better since having my last surgery on October 22nd. I had my ostomy reversed. It's been challenging to say the least, but I would rather this than continue through life with an ostomy. I consider myself lucky to have been a candidate for the reversal. The surgery went so much better than the first one. I was only in hospital for 3 nights. Doctors say it can take up to 2 years before I know what my "normal" is going to be. I have good days and I have bad days, I can't make plans until last minute unfortunately, but I still get to do things....that is the main thing.
The regular cancer screening regimen now starts, I had a CT scan before Christmas that showed a spot on my liver so in 3 months they will do the scan again. The doctors say it may be just a shadow, but until that is determined for sure I will be a little uneasy. I want to stay busy building my crafting business to keep my mind occupied. The new CTMH catalogue is in my hands and is very inspiring so that should be easy to do. I have nothing new to post today but very soon I will........
