Well things have been moving towards a positive direction, physically speaking. It is like a switch was flicked in my muscle memory to "on". Granted I'm miles from where I want to be but I am making great strides..literally. I am making laps at PT with my cane and very little help. Jon stayed one day to watch me walk and I think I surprised him. I have trouble with keeping my cane and left leg together but it's such an amazing feeling to know I am getting there!
All this snow we have been getting today really has me itching to go sled riding. Growing up I would spend hours outside. We were supposed to go up to my brother in laws cabin today but didn't want to chance the roads so no sled riding today. Maybe tomorrow! Most complain about this weather but it just brings me back to my childhood and all the memories I have. If I have a complaint it could be a tad bit warmer...blood thinners and negative degrees don't mix well!
Today an old friend left me speechless with such kind words on Facebook. "You are a winner, a competitor, and never backed down from anything or anyone." I still remember my senior day soccer gift you gave me and the card that read, "this isn't us, see you on the court." I grew up on a team whether it be basketball, soccer, track & cross country and softball. No hiding it, basketball was my favorite. The team I have now is not for a sport but Lord knows I have the best support team I could ask for. Day 1 I said I wasn't letting cancer get the best of me and I honestly haven't...there may have been moments, just like in basketball I had moments. Some good, some bad...and I ran for those! But the game doesn't stop just because things didn't go your way. If you stopped it would just pass you by.
So, I feel instead of complaining try living for the moment. I may have cancer but cancer picked the wrong person.
As always, your love and support mean so much to me. Kindness, memories & prayers give me so much strength. At PT they asked what got into me and I said I think God is hearing my prayers...and I believe He is! Thank you all :)
