I gotta hand it to her!?
One of my best friends is finally going to the hospital this week to get an operation.
After months of agony, countless doctor appointments. Seeing specialist after specialist she will finally be freed of a problem that’s been bothering her for a while. She says she’s not afraid of the surgery, but of the outcome. She’s afraid she’ll be disfigured. That she won’t feel herself after the recovery and the rehabilitation.
I told her scars are a part of life. That she will be the same inside. This will allow her to be stronger. More free. I told her she will be back to her old self in no time. And no man would look away in shame when seeing her. She’s beautyful the way she is and that will never change. The scar won’t be that noticeable.
I tried to make her understand that it could get worse if she doesn’t go through with it. That she would be weaker if she waited.
I also brought up that a friend of ours, although not as active as her will have to wait till summer for her operation. She would kill to be able to do it now.
I know she’s strong and I told her so. And we’ll get through the aftermath together. Everything will be alright. After all, I am taking time off to help her in her time of need.
We’ve been part of each others lives for almost forty years, I think we’ve proved that nothing will come between us. She’s family, and families help each other. We are so close that sometimes it’s hard to know where she ends and I begin.
She can count on me and our other friend, awaiting the same surgery, to hold down the fort for a few weeks. We’ll give her all the support she needs and be with her round the clock, every step of the way.
So in that spirit, give someone a hand this week. Do a good deed. It doesn’t have to be something big, just lend a hand. And think of my hand, aaaaa friend while doing it.
She’ll be in surgery tomorrow morning. (08:10) It should only last twenty minutes. Flowers are not necessary. Just have some positive energy sent her way. I’m sure she’ll appreciate it.
Have fun!?

Would I !?
