Life has changed (again)
Wow, I cannot believe it has been over six months since my last post. Life has changed. I am still finding my footing (so to speak) with the changes in my body. I feel very positive that once my rehab is complete that I will be able to resume a relatively normal life.
It is unfortunate that air travel is no longer an option for me. The break-through pain while sitting totally upright for an extended time is not bearable. Found this out the hard way. But car trips, where I can lean the seat back, are in my future. FYI: There is part of me that did a figurative jig that I never have to suffer the indignities of an airport again. Yippee.
It has taken me a while to come to terms with my abilities as they are now. However, I try to keep a positive vision in my life because I have found that negativity leads to severe depression. I don’t like being depressed! I refuse to travel that road again. So if I end up in a wheel chair, you will see the baddest babe in town doing wheelies.
I am going to attempt to write more regularly in this blog again. I didn’t want depression to become the watchword for this writing endeavor. Look for more words of the day, thoughts, humor.

Just keep writing because I look forward to your blog. When I read a post, no matter what the theme is, I feel good after reading it, knowing you can express your feelings for others to read. That is not easy for all of us.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Is that you Joanne? or Mary? I appreciate this comment from whomever made it. It is nice to know that there is some impact with what I write. Expressing myself through words has always proved cathartic. Beyond that it keeps those mental muscles sharp and helps me focus.
