I shared my thoughts and feelings and received some responses via my email. It is interesting how some people feel better knowing there is someone out there that feels as I do. There are others who try to reach out and help and those who wish for this time to pass for me. Isn’t life interesting and of course people are always interesting?
I am sorry I missed posting yesterday, I was ready to do so, however my blog was not cooperating with me! Or perhaps my brain was all fogged up and unable to function.
I woke up this morning and opened my mind and eyes and my first thoughts were “Thank you God for allowing me to be alive.” My dear husband quickly went to the kitchen to prepare a cup of hot chocolate for me and heat up my rice pad for my aching body. It seems each morning as I first awake with no feeling throughout my body, all I can do is take my medication and supplement. The whole ritual is a way of awaking each morning and my body temperature is very low. I kiss my husband, drink my cup of chocolate and get back into my bed with my pad to warm up. You see, my body has started to awaken and feel pain and cool all over. It takes about an hour for my body to recover. When I start to recover, I slowly force myself to stretch while in bed, then I stand up and walk around and try some yoga moves. I do not know exactly when, but my body starts to feel better. You see I can deal with the pain simply by stretching, yoga, tools and tips I have shared with all of you. The fatigue is more difficult to deal with, but I have found ways to deal with the fatigue. As I have always stated “pain is easier than fatigue.” I can now get on with my day.
I felt better today. Why? Because I shared how I felt with my family, perhaps with some remorse, but somehow the thoughts and feelings I had, seemed to have disappeared. What do you think about that? Some people do not like to share because they believe they are showing weakness. I believe we are being honest with ourselves and our family. It is all a part of healing. What do you think? Please share your feelings by posting. I will continue to accept emails from anyone that does not feel comfortable posting. However, I want you to know that sharing is healing.
I pray and hope you have a pain and fatigue free day!
