Adding more Scars

Well my friends, one must never think that life won't add a few more scars here and there. I just got out of the hospital, last week. I have been lucky enough to avoid it for about 4 years now, but time sometimes is not on our side. However, that being said, I wasn't in there because of my lungs. I am diabetic, because of my CF, but have been allergic to insulin in the past. Well, my luck ran out on avoiding that one forever. I had to start insulin and needed a safe medical environment to try that one. I decided while I was in there to have a tune up as we say. I had another port-a-cath, permanant IV access put in so I could have IV antibiotics and finish them up at home. Of course, this meant adding another adorning scar to my chest. I already have about 7 other incision sights on my right side of my chest. But, as I headed into surgery, yet another time in my life, I remembered my very own words in this book. Scars make us who we are, they only add to my beauty. I couldn't help but to laugh at myself when I would let the thought of having one more scar creep up on my self esteem. I had to remind myself how hypocritical it would be to have a children's book out to help them cope with scars, if I didn't listen to the very thing myself. I didn't mind it so much this time, I had the support of my new husband, my family, and my own heart. When your loved ones support your life and the ultimate goal of keeping you the healthiest you can possibly be, it makes no difference how, just when. I am home recovering, and my new scars are developing yet another character to my chest...a character I will someday be known for. If I remind any of you of one thing, it is that scars leave a lasting physical impression, but most importantly, what are they leaving behind mentally. We as humans have the choice, to accept what we have, make the best of it, and move on. That is what keeps us sane and healthy in our hearts. I think for the first time, I got healthier with another scar, instead of fall back a few notches. I feel strong and determined now more than ever to use this experience as yet another stepping stone on my path of life. I hope this finds you all healthy and happy, have a wonderful holiday season and an even more magical New Year. Love Jennifer
