Read first

This blog is not for the faint at heart. If you wish to delve into what I'm facing, you are welcome to read. Primarily, it is for me. And this blog will ideally allow me to keep informed my family and framily about my current state of health. There will likely be unpleasantness and quite possibly some photos...and likely I wont know what I write until it is typed.

Trying to take back control.

I know in my heart that control is just an illusion. Yet, as a recovering type A personality, I still feel the need to have everything in order. I’ve felt completely out of control since I was diagnosed with cancer a year ago last June. I felt semi out of control since I developed CRPS in 2003. I don’t need to have everything planned out, but I do seem to need to have a clear direction and a clear agenda of what I want to accomplish and how I want to face the world, as I am at this time. So...I’m going to try something out. I’m going to see if I can’t develop muscles I have lost over time.

The biggest two challenges will be how to exercise with a foot that sometimes is ok to have weight on it and sometimes not ... and ... my right collarbone is still falling, so I need to make sure I don’t do any lasting damage by pushing those muscles to work.

Now I just need to figure out what that means and how I can proceed. I’ll be talking with all my care providers this week. This is step one.

Go hug your loved ones and *tell* them you love them!
