Wendy and Lindy, You can't imagine how much your comments help. "Let me think of myself as an athlete instead of a patient" is so much to the point. As my health returns and my cycling is stronger, once again I'm not thinking of myself as sick, just weary, which is perfectly normal. One person told me this is not unlike post-partum depression, which also rings true. So many people tell me how inspired they are. And, as I look at my video on the top, I recall how emotionally spent and joyful I was at reaching the goal. If I or you or any of us can inspire another to take that important step to think of ourselves as more or other than a patient, then our efforts and communications are all worthwhile. Thanks so much for your inspiration.
