I can't believe more than a year has gone by that I have posted. I shut down. I couldn't deal with everything that was going on in my life at the time of surgery and shortly after. I had some family issues (to say the least). The one's I relied on for 100% support - made my recovery that much more difficult. But back to the actual topic - I have been having check ups every 3 months. Today was another 3 monther since last year. My doctor said I would be doing 3 month check ups for 2 years.
I'm fine with the precaution, but I am feeling really pissed about having this be a part of my life. I want so much for there to be a cure. I want answers - I want this to not happen to anyone else. I just don't get it. I have had a stressful year. After surgery, things piled on, and we had to move out of our home less than 5 months later. I returned back to work only to deal with "workplace issues" and my stress has been through the roof since last year. I have changed my eating. Went vegan/vegetarian and lost 40 lbs. But the last few months have been a little difficult and I am notorious for stress eating. I am doing my best to eat natural/organic, cut out all toxic household items in the home, use non toxic products for shampoo, deodorant, make up, etc. Every thing I put on my body, I check my "think dirty" app I downloaded to check the toxicity level and carcinogen level. More than a year later, I haven't eased up much on the paranoia I feel. Nobody gets it. Nobody but you kind folks here. That's where I'm at right now. I wish posting here was easier
LOL I could do a monthly blog if I could. I will do better checking in. But life just took over and handed me the perfect storm last year. I pray for us all and I am thankful for this website. If anyone has any questions for me - or yell at me to check in!!!
LOL
God bless us all!
