Hello Fellow Travelers!
I thought that since 2012 is almost over and it does appear I'm going to live on I should record how I have spent the last two holiday seasons with severe impairments. I am resolved to undergoing whatever procedure is available. 2013 will be a little different and, hopefully so will I! I have been focused on one thing only for the last 20 months, one goal. Over a year ago I ceased taking all medications. Over a year ago I started working out daily. My quality of life bites - hard! Every day brings new challenges and new chances for me to find humor in every silly situation I find myself in.
My wonderful in-laws have included me (no doubt my spouse and son were really the invitees, I just get invited because like the mighty cockroach, I refuse to die! That and Sean and I don't believe in divorce.) in all their holiday doins' which are pretty special.(Let's face facts: Even mute I'm more entertaining than my spouse. I might knock something or someone over, that's always good for a chuckle.) Or I run into people who last saw me the 10 days or so before I had a grapefruit sized tumor removed from my brain. It does explain a lot, however...
I have been appreciative to all the O'Reilly's for all their love and support (and food!) so I am planning a more normal winter in 2013. I saw how much my son needs me this year. My favorite brother-in-law said to me, "Your recovery is not a race." He's probably right that was definitely my mind-set in the first year
Now I feel great all the time and I see everything and everyone a little differently. My patient spouse is running out of patience. My son is a tween! A gangly tween! So I feel that time is a precious commodity and I have none. So let's get this recovery show on the road! Like yesterday!
