Excited because I am about to begin a weeks’ vacation at the
beach, scared because for the first time my chest and open heart surgery scar
will be exposed. I have gone to great
lengths kept it covered, although recently I have worn shirts that are a bit
open at the neck line that have revealed a little bit of this scar. But now….at the beach…it will be unavoidably
visible to family, friends, and strangers.
Are they going to stare, see that I have been broken, and feel sorry for
me? I hate all of those feelings!
After tears and fears...I am going, I am playing with my 4 grandsons, swimming in
the ocean, volleyball in the pool, kites from the dunes and wine coolers
(everywhere) and it is going to show. I
have been and still am so vulnerable, but I cannot let it keep me from
living! I am exposed!
