5 years ago I had to take Cipro and Levaquin , each for 6 week durations. My mind went first, then my body. I was a very athletic, active and social person and now can not do ADLs or IDLs without assistance. It is like my body is allergic to physical activity and excersizing. Still trying to figure out how to manage this. I have learned to pick my battles and sometimes that works. Recently I have gained a lot of weight in a small amount of time, so my number 1 goal is to get back in shape so Doctors will not look at me and blame it on that and getting older.

This has been a blessing as much as a curse. I have lost a lot of friends and family, but now see who the truly beautiful people are in my life. I really appreciate the small stuff and have learned to live in the moment. The problem with that, it is very boring when you do not have a lot going on, or, unable to do most of the things you loved to do! It does wipe away a lot of anxiety and that makes it all worth it.

I am so thankful for my home, I love because it has turned into a bit a of a prison. So very , very thankful for my two dogs who keep me company and laughing.

For anyone going through struggles, uncertainty or life changing experiences, stay strong and know you can do this. Most importantly, you are never alone no matter how lonely you feel. Baby steps can take you far so stay positive!
