My life has been hectic in the last week....mainly due to my youngest son having the flu....there should be a law that when a mother is ill children are not allowed to be ill....
I talked to a sorority sister and my twin cousin sister recently and they offered some great insight and advice. First my Soror confessed to me after I received my diagnosis she checked her breasts everyday...she had her husband check her breasts(which is not a bad thing) and became paranoid. I was told by my caregivers that this would happen. My caseworkers stated that people may become overly sensitive and exert too much worry on themselves...Candace fits the bill!!!
My twin cousin sister who is also a Katrina survivor stated how she was tired of people who are dealt a raw deal feeling sorry for themselves or using their disabilities as a hinderance to create a better life for themselves.....If I am being honest....I feel like that sometimes, not as often as some but at least once a week....am I pathetic??? Human maybe but not pathetic.....I think.....'(
I continue with my healing process the best I can, somedays I do more than I should but I would feel less than productive if I didn't....my sister-in-law...Debbie is here(she's gonna kill me for using her name...hahaha, she will be gone by the time she reads this) and she is keeping the laundry done, kids clean and me in line....I shoulda married her...hahahaha.....!!!!
I have a massage therapist too, my friend Paige comes to the house on Mondays...she's great....if you want her number I will be more than happy to provide it...
So my community is in place to provide me with the love and support I need, I am STRUGGLING to realize that my expected date of recovery is not a finite date and we all continue to SAVE MY LIFE....
