Today we go down to the beach in the cool breeze and reasonably warm sunshine. Chris befriends a rescue greyhound; such docile and friendly animals.
I feel like the condemned prisoner enjoying a last taste of freedom. The thought of being trapped in Southampton General is unappealing as well as nerve wracking.
This past few days I have had calls from friends and cyber friends from all over the globe; even a text from a friend who is holidaying in India..all to wish me well. It helps so much to realise just how many people are thinking of me and praying for me. Even Margaret from the Wheelers cycling club who only met me a few weeks ago emails me with her best wishes and the thoughts and prayers of the whole group.
I feel very strange. Knowing what I have to go through if I survive the operation is daunting. The thought of not surviving is too wierd to contemplate. I am trying to organise things just in case, but it feels unreal.
Thanks again for your support, thoughts and prayers. I have a long hard struggle ahead, and I hope to be blogging again when I am released from captivity.

Lin, it obvious that you are encircled by the love, prayers and good wishes of all those whose lives you touch and have touched over the years. You have always given selflessly and now you can take great strength from knowing that this unconditional love is coming back to you a hundredfold to support you through the coming days!
ReplyDeleteNorman Vincent Peale, author of "The Power of Positive Thinking", wrote 'When you become mentally convinced that you can make a comeback from any adversity, then all of your creative forces will come to your aid.'
Remember you do have tremendous courage, Lin, but may I also remind you that having courage does not mean you are never afraid, just that you automatically face the fear and resolutely work through it!
Looking forward to your next blog.
Will be thinking of you and sending love from Maggie, Angus, Fergus and Jamie
It's Wednesday and I am thinking of you my friend. Hoping you are staying positive through the jitters.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to meet you very soon.
Lots of love and best wishes xxx
