Carrying it Well
Today I am tired! I slept for 12 hours straight last night and slept in so much that I had to eat to take meds before my workout. I have GERD so that is not fun but I made it through! Thank You Jesus! Each exercise was hard. My body is tired; really tired. I had to do...
There is Always Tomorrow…
Today was good but it won. I did get my workout in and a very small walk in. I hurt today and even though I am tired I am not sleeping and if I do sleep, I have stressful dreams. Talking on the phone is hard for me. Phones have been used as weapons against me in the...
Another Good Day!
Today was a good day! I woke up in a lot of pain, understandably, with the amount of walking I did yesterday but once I forced myself to do my workout my body was willing to comply...Thank You Jesus! I walked more yesterday than I have in a long time and my body...
Getting Some Answers
Today was a success! Even though the clutch went out (we will find out if the parts that are acting up are still covered by the warranty on Wednesday) we were able to get a rental...thanks to our good friend, Jhohanna, and not miss my first visit with the oncologist....

The Side Effects of Illness is Extra Expenses…

Invisible Illness Awareness
Every day I wake up is a good day. Today I am exhausted. Jamie Holloway has been posting on Wellness Works NW about Invisible Illness Awareness. I live with invisible illness and if I didn’t have my cane you might not think I was sick. But I live with at least 10...
The Joys of Chronic Illness
Today has been an excellent day. After our walk last night a lot of pain set in...the joy of Fibromyalgia...we hadn’t picked up my prescriptions yet so sleep was hard. I doubled down on my tincture and that helped. I woke up in pain so I started slow. I got my workout...
Cancer Made Me Choose Me
Today has been a great day! I got my workout in and gave myself a pedicure. I have had several moments with Karen and cuddled with Xavier. I can also sign off on the June financial documents...I worked on July and August a bit too...I have listened to great music...at...
Cancer is Just Another Diagnosis
I have decided that cancer is just a diagnosis, much like all the other ones I have lived through. In fact I took having arthritis much harder because it is chronic and debilitating. I am going to live through this and become stronger...and if I don't I will go live...
