Thanks for asking Spike. I passed the one year mark on this journey with RSD on December 15. That was hard to face, and I think even harder for my husband, as he did keep mentioning that it had been a year. He cared for me for many months in bed, watched me struggle, wheelchair, walker, cane. Still need some of those on the bad days.
I have found acceptance takes time. There are many losses with RSD. I tend to leave claw marks as they say. And yet how can I receive if I do not let go? All in good time. I will learn a lot from the 3 year old about acceptance, we just find different ways of doing things. Improvise, Adapt and Overcome :-)
I wrote out a long story last night, to share my journey with you, only to find out it took too long and it went POOF, oh well maybe it was more for me. I was listening to Jim Croce the whole evening loud with the earphones on. It was awesome, fed my spirit. Talk about a blast from the past. Someone had asked how I was, and they shared the Jim Croce song Age on youtube with me. Music is healing.
:-)
peace
