This week marks a milestone.
It's been five years since I came off a ventilator.
I remember the feeling like it was yesterday.
A wild range of emotions from panic to joy to sadness to peace.
I was having a hard time sleeping later that day and a nurse had whispered in my ear: "I see you playing possum. You're not very good at it. You need to rest."
"I'm afraid," I replied, opening one eye.
"Of what?" he asked, leaning down.
"Not waking up," I whimpered with my scratchy voice.
"Oh, honey, we're past that part. Please, just let yourself sleep," he laughed and patted my hand. "You've made it through the hard stuff. You're our warrior."
This week's podcast is somewhat disjointed and awkward. You'll just have to forgive me. I need to pay homage to it. I need to pinch myself and realize how blessed I am to still be here. I need to thank all of you who stood in the gap. I know who you are.
And, at the end of the day, I need to get busy making good on all those promises I made to the Big Guy Upstairs.
I am pretty sure I told him I'd be good!
Shhhhh....I need you to back me up. He knows enough of my secrets already.
