I like ". . . ". It lets people know there's more to come. I feel like there's a lot of that next chapter in myself right now. Kinda like this moment is an interlude until the real stuff begins. It's like high school part deux.
Let me explain. I woke up one morning and i had pain in my checks. A few days later that pain spread to include forehead and jaw. Then I was dizzy. The following month, my back hurt. Soon after my arms ached and I was barely able to move them. I was tired all the time. Everything taxed me to the point of needing a nap.
That experience lasted a full year. I saw 10 doctors. I had surgery. I took all sorts of antibiotics, painkillers, antidepressants, hormones, etc. After finally getting a diagnosis and treatment (and a doctor that would listen to me), I am now on my road to recovery. It's been a long road. I have frustrated my family and alienated my friends. I felt like no one understood me or could comprehend what my problems were. But that is a rant for another day.
I am unbelievably happy that I survived my illness and am recovering. It's going to be a slow road and sometimes arduous journey but I am now glad to take it. I want to expand my horizons. I want to rediscover my past hobbies and friends, and well life. I hope this blog will be a theraputic log of my path as I try to re-enter that thing we call life. I want to try something new each two weeks. Hopefully I will be up to the challenge.
until the bear wakes me up tomorrow!
