Physical Therapy is going well. I now realize how out of shape I really am.

My intention is to share my experience as honestly as I know how.
My commitment is to transform our current cultural conversation about cancer from one of fear and dread to one that empowers those of us who have cancer, as well as our friends & loved ones.
I had cancer. Cancer didn't have me.
Bert - you will get stronger and more like your old self, your new normal self, every day... it just takes patience and perseverence... I did not believe this about myself a year ago, I hoped it would be true some day, but I did not believe it.
ReplyDeleteBut as I persist, so do I get closer to feeling like my old physical self. Which is ironic, since I have had my breasts replaced with tissue from my abdomen, and my uterus and ovaries completely removed. So much of me is not my old self anymore and yet, I am getting better every time I take a walk or lift weights. And I no longer feel like I'm 10 years older than my chronological age. Maybe 5 years older.
And if I can get here, so can you! :-)
