I have always felt I should be recording my life experiences, but never took the time. So, as my daddy used to always say, "Today is the first day of the rest of your life." (obviously not an original) So here it goes.
I have been sick for a few years now. Took along time for docs to find one of my diseases that left me with residual central nervous system damage. In January '07 had surgery and radiation for early breast cancer which has left me feeling exhausted and ill all the time.
I have been feeling pretty sorry for myself, but no more. I'm only 47 years old and I don't want to feel like I'm 67 anymore. I take back my life, physically, mentally and spiritually. One medication I am on is causing liver problems and even though it is used to prevent a reccurence of my cancer, what the heck if I don't even feel like going out of the house. It may help me in the future, but what about today?
Today I will take a walk, read my scriptures and put only good things in my body. That's a start and so it begins.

That's right! Start today and go as long as you can. It's been 5 yrs. for me since the breast cancer was diagnosed. I spent the first two years in bed, I felt so bad, and had no energy. It takes a loooog time to get over chemo and radiation. Ha! They told me that radiation wouldn't make me tired....They Lied! It had taken me a long time to begin to feel better so don't give up hope. Your life won't be the same as it was, but it can be very good. Just have patience. I love you!
