I finished my Oncology Massage training last week - right after my sinus and respiratory infection and right before my surgery this week. It used to scare me - working with such medically fragile people - but now it is a blessing. I know what I can and cannot do physically, but the real challenge has been the mental aspect. The biggest gift I can give is to be there in that moment with this person. To realize there is nothing more than that moment and that touch. I can't cure or fix anyone, but I can be there and stay aware and be a witness to this minute, this second. That can be enough.
In other news...I had a tumor removed from my colon yesterday along with a biopsy of polyps. While in the colon area, the doctor discovered growth along my sigmoid colon and he has absolutely no idea what it is. I'm scheduled for a CT scan and laproscopy this next week. Sure, I suppose it could be cancer, but there's a feeling in my gut that says it isn't. I'm not worried or panicked. All is well and all will be well. Of this I am sure.
Oh and to secure my position of "crazy cat lady" I have taken in two more kittens. Lomi and Rush are 8 weeks old and bring me just as much joy as Marsalis, Bronte, Bonna, Vaughan and Murphy not to mention the numerous outdoor strays who come by to drink from the fresh water pan I put out each morning. There is a beautiful elegance in cats. I love them.
