One year ago

After I posted the info about the trail run tomorrow, I just had to say how grateful I am that I am able to do these races tomorrow! A year ago, I had just had surgery on 2/12 to have an infected expander removed. The doctor couldn't figure out how it happened, but my surgery on 10/28, in which I had the mastectomy & then an expander put in, had resulted in a severe staph infection that didn't come to peak until 3+ months later. After waking up with chills one night and running a fever of 102-103 for several days, I had to have emergency surgery on 2/12/09. So, looking back on the last year, I am so grateful that I am feeling well and able to run a 15K tomorrow. Thanks to all my friends and family for your support over the past year! And thank you, Mark, for always being there for me!
