I find that some days I can deal with whatever comes my way. Other days like Leah said I want to wallow in pity for myself and cry. I know there are those less fortunate, but on those days when even a bra hurts too much I'm pissed at the world. It's a daily struggle to keep your spirits up, try not to depress your family or burden them with the jobs you can't do any longer, and deal with pain, dizziness etc. But, I can tell you I celebrate every good day. I thank God when I can get out to church, grocery shop, or go visiting. It's not easy.....but, we are fighters. We have to be. Gentle hugs and wishes for a glorious day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
