Woohooooo It's My Birthday and I am Still Here:) LOL

I cannot believe it that another year has gone by so fast and here it is my birthday today!!!  Sometimes I am amazed I made it this far but so glad I have as even in the hardest of times I have found there are lessons and appreciation for the best of times.  Cheers:) Heidi

A Little Surgery And I Now Know I am Not Invincible! Doing Great!

A quick update to all...... I had surgery a week ago today-nothing serious and some elective and some not. If anything it has taught me to respect my body and the limits I have to respect so it can heal. I thought I could have a 4 hour surgery get completely cut open from side to side and go to work 5 days later. Well I did go back 5 days later but it hurt so I had to stay home today and listen to what my body was saying-rest Heidi you stubborn girl!!!!!! I am used to being on the go,go, go and running and all kinds of exercise. Now to bend, stand up straight, cough, even laughing hurts.  I am going back to work tomorrow to try again bc I do find it so hard to be isolated at home in bed. This time I will take it much easier and not think I can be up and running around all day.  I believe in the power of positive thought as well as taking all the millionsof meds the doctors have given me as well as some natural remedies I have researched on my own. The doctor says I can get back to running in about 6 weeks which I welcome but my scars may take up to a year to heal which is okay with me.  With each experience my body goes through... child birth, surgery, etc I respect it even more.  May not write too much but maybe more since I do feel pretty isolated.  Miss you all:)
