I'm really not trying to complain because my cancer hasn't reappeared or spread as of now and I can walk and be a mother and a wife everything in life that is most important to me. But I am still having constant chronic pain. And because of that coupled with my amputated leg things seem so much harder than they use to be. I now feel so deeply for those people that are always unwell. That have aching backs, degenerative and autoimmune diseases those that battle with depression and all various debilitating circumstances.
It is so easy to get down and watch everyone around living there life so easily able to care for there children and there home. To run here and there and to enjoy various activities. I think about how everyones life moves on and how the simplest of things have become a challenge for me. I hate to feel this way and it's not that I would want anyone else to have these challenges. It is just that I am so aware now of all the things I used to do without so much as having to think what I was doing.
So as of now I am better than I was 6 months ago and I hope to continue to get better but somedays are hard and some times when I look down and see that I have no leg I hurt inside and know that my life won't ever be the same. I realize that I will constantly be challenged but I'm doing my best and I know that that is enough.
So to everyone that wonders how I'm doing. I'm OKAY. I'm happy to be a mom and hope to one day be pain free. So for now I'll keep trying because I know that is better than giving in to hopeless thoughts. I have been blessed with a family and knowledge of an eternal happiness where I will be whole again and where I will be free of the difficulties that are a part of this earth so for that I am grateful.
And these are what keep me going and I hope they always know how much I love them even when I have bad days and can't do everything they would like me to do! They are perfect to me!
