Benign.

I don’t think I’ve heard a better word in a long time.

When the doctor called me with the results, a wave washed over my entire body and melted all the stress I’ve been holding onto.  I could almost see it running down my arms, dripping off my fingertips and disappearing through the cracks in the hardwood floor.

I didn’t realize how much stress I had been holding onto until that moment.

The two-inch scar, the bruising, the discomfort, the swelling, the fear, and yes even the 7 lb weight gain–I would do it all again, and again, and again….

Because I live with enough uncertainty, we all do.

Having an answer for just a little piece of uncertainty can change your life.

I’m so thankful that my answer came back “benign”.

So very, very, thankful.
