My attitude NOW is that I can't think of life in terms of "what will happen in five years? Will I STILL be this sick? Who / how will I be cared for? What if I am homeless?"
That thinking will drive me crazy. (I've always been a big goal setter.)
So now, instead, I think:
Can I get in some low impact exercise this AM, this PM, or today?
How can I lower my pain today?
How is my diet / what am I putting in my body today?
What can I do to help my daughters (via phone, with advice or showing love), or for my friends, today?
If the answer to these questions are that I can't do anything today, just bed, just dealing with the high pain, then I accept that for that hour, 1/2 day increment, etc.
It's all about "quality of life" for this day, this hour.
