so much for dreaming, so much for living (but hey, such is life).

Took half a day off work. For valid reasons, of course.

I was due for that annual body scan in two months. I just can't believe it's been almost a year since I had the surgery. My scar still looks fresh and I still get a tingling sensation every now and then. I wouldn't say it's a horrible feeling. It reminds me more of everything that took place around that time.

Fingers crossed I won't have to go through another radioactive iodine session. I just don't like the hassle. But perhaps some days off would be good. Pros and cons, you see. My life will have to take another pause just in case.

Just in case.

I too have the surgery scar. Although I am not embarrassed, yet for my specialist it is more intimate than I prefer. It is too short to put my life on hold, more really it is a diversion, an alternative, more scenic route. Without this scar, it would be worse.

"Battle" scars are cool.

I remember Imelda Marcos had a scar from some riot which she wanted to get rid of (via plastic surgery) and the late President Marcos advised her to keep it as it tells a story of courage.
