There are certain times that occur during life where your life is interrupted for a while. Most of the time, it is just for a short period of time. There are others when it is for a much longer frame of time. There is nothing that you can do about these interruptions. You just have to adapt to the changes and move forward.
I am getting ready to face one of those "life interrupted" events. I know what it will be like going in but I do not know what it is going to be like coming out the other side. It is the not knowing the bothers me the most. That and having to put my complete trust in someone that I do not really know. The surgery I am facing is very extensive with multiple facets and it can best be compared to lining up dominos. They all have to be lined up just right in order for the "trick" to work. It may be up to a year before I know if the trick worked like it was supposed to. The pain will have to be navigated like a riverboat going down the Mississippi but pain is something I have dealt with.
When I have one of these "life interrupted" events, I always have these plans to write the next great American novel but all seem to be able to do is write in my journal that no one gets to read or bang out a few blogs that no one reads anyway. This time around I have to do things differently. This may be a life altering event that completely changes my life and I have to be prepared for that. I also have to look at this as an opportunity to do things I have always wanted to do. This is my opportunity to right years worth of wrongs. It is up to me to make the best of this opportunity.
