Hi,
I really feel for you. I know I have days where I have gone back and yes it is discouraging. I know I feel useless a lot of days, I can't get groceries, can't drive, can't work but I am an important person to my children. I bet your daughter would agree that you are worth it!!!! I also find strength in know that I am a model to my children and in life everyone will face adversity but it is how we handle it that defines you as a person. You are in my prayers. Keep trunkin... |

Thanks for the kind words.I truly appreciate them.I decided I can take this bump in the road and I will get back to where I was 3weeks ago if not better.I overreacted it is a minor set back not major but it sure did feel major physically!I am more aware that I need to pay closer attention to my nutrition and being in rehab problems will come out faster than bed rest.
Hopefully sooner than later I will be back to my progress report.I am doing everything to get better that I can.So far I been down for a week and half.I just found out Sunday I was low on protein and today is Wednesday and I feel 80% better. ![]()
