The Dragon

When I was in the hospital (August 2015), one of the biggest challenges was not knowing what I was fighting. I had so much fear, anger, pain and frustration but I had no idea where to aim those feelings. During my 2nd week there, Tony was at the office with my husband and made me a picture. He used one of those pens with a few colors and drew me fighting a dragon - which represents me fighting my disease.  As I laid in the hospital this picture gave me a new direction to aim for. As odd as it may sound that picture on the wall beside me was a place for all my emotions to focus on. It gave me hope a sense of hope as well. Ever since then I have referred to my disease as The Dragon.
