I'm so glad a new year has dawned.
I'm ready for a fresh start.
While the hardest year of my life by far was 2013, 2015 was a bit challenging as well.
We started 2015 with my daughter having double knee surgery in February to deal with the long-standing pain in her knees. Instead of getting better, they got significantly worse. After months of suffering, her doctor finally referred her to another specialist.
Then we got a Dr. who was able to understand the underlying issue and give us a diagnosis that dealt with the problem. Her knee caps weren't aligned properly. So, we scheduled her next two surgeries for October and December of 2015.
Hubby had shoulder surgery in between hers in November. (They're both doing well and recovering nicely.)
So why am I glad to see 2015 go and 2016 start?
Because it feels like a fresh start to me. A chance to take a breath and get excited about life again.
