Well that's how it feels anyway.
This time last week I was just out of the operating theatre having had my cyst (tumour) and part of my salivary gland removed.
Things are rather uncomfortable at present. My stitches came out today (which meant I have been able to wash my hair) but my neck and face keep swelling up like a balloon which is very uncomfortable - feels like my skin is going to burst. It does make it difficult to move my head or to sleep.
I get the histology results next Friday. I feel quite at peace over this - more than I have about having my stitches out. Malignant cancers in this gland are quite rare and as previous tests on fluid drained from the cyst have show it to be benign I am extremely hopeful.
I feel very blessed and peaceful about everything - even the benefits agency who caused me strife yesterday doesn't faze me as I have been given money from my brother and mum which allows me to live and clears my overdraft.
I'm taking each day as it comes. I've been signed off until 31st March so there is plenty of recovery time, and I'm not going to panic about finding work either.

Anyway - I think God has something different in store for me than what I have done before. It's a feeling that I am being given the chance to start my life again.
I feel at peace.
