Last week, before my surgery, I thought it would be fun to ask friends and family to wear yellow on the day of my surgery. Yellow is the support color for Sarcoma cancer. What a great opportunity to bring awareness to the rare disease and allow friends to show their support for me!
I asked people to post the pictures on Facebook, e-mail, or text them to me. Selfishly, I thought it would be so fun that when I 'came-to' on the day of surgery that I would see all the friends who were supporting me, even though they couldn't be with me! I had no idea what I was in for!!
I woke-up after surgery and didn't remember much about how I got into the hospital room. I woke up, surrounded by family - all wearing yellow!! My husband told me, "You've got to see all the people on Facebook who wore yellow today." About 1 minute later, I fell asleep. Whenever you are waking up after surgery, I'm sure anyone who has had surgery can relate, you fall asleep a lot!! Later on, when I had my own room and everyone had left for the day, I hopped on Facebook and I saw photo after photo, of friends wearing yellow. There I sat in this foreign hospital room, by myself, in pain, and I cried. Tears just rolled down my face! It meant SO much to see everyone who remembered to wear yellow! Thank you. I loved it SO much!!
Thank you again to everyone who dressed-up themselves, their kids, their families, dogs, yellow pedicured their feet, who had friend's of friends wear yellow!! Here are some of the pictures, I'm sorry if you don't see yours below, I tried to get them all!
It WAS a YELLOW Wednesday!! I loved seeing all of these photos! Thank you ALL so much from the bottom of my heart for your support! Thank you for reading!
