SHALOM!
To feel human again, I thought I would never know the feeling. To be able to function without extreme extreme fatigue, without exhaustion is like a miracle. Not that I don't have to rest each day somewhat, but the waves of fatigue are so much less. Now some of it is after 5 months after completion of chemo and radiation, but also we removed a morning pill for blood pressure entirely to see if that will make a difference. We could only do that as thank G. my bl. pressure has been pretty stable lately.
Having cancer has taught me to listen more to my body. If I can't handle a lot of evening activities, so be it. I go to bed earlier than most, as I am up by 3 a.m. latest 4 a.m. for a new day. It does really curtail evening social activities, but I am so content to be home more after all these years of full time working. I am finally taking some courses, from the cancer base involving Torah study and life lessons, some yoga, since my Dr. felt I wasn't doing enough exercise. At the teachers' base, where I teach weekly and simply love it, I am taking a course on the relationship of mind and body. All in all, I love what I am doing. Hopefully, soon, I will start back at one of my volunteering places.
'Going with the flow' is a new concept, which I never could do. But I am doing more and more of it. If I were to get upset over each little thing, my body would be constantly stressed out. So I let it go-let the 'universe' worry about it for me. I do my part and hope for the best.
Anyways, you know that I am writing this blog mostly for me, and if any of this makes sense to you, or helps you to help others, good!
Until the next time we meet,
Shalom
Thank you always for your prayers and thoughts and good health to all those still having a hard time. Believe me, I know how hard this all is.
