    Do you get a “ fun hangover”?

    For those of us with multiple health conditions, there is a cost to everything we do, and often we get what I like to call the fun hangover. Do you get one and if so, what do you do to recuperate?

    Waiting for results…

    While I am waiting for results, I am choosing to focus on the joy of spring. The results that have come in are so up-and-down and all over the place. My thyroid is low now, and there is protein in my urine and I am going through periods of exhaustion so bad I can barely move. Tomorrow I will get the CT results for my lungs. Instead of focussing on all that, I am choosing to focus on the birds chirping and the sun shining! I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

    Hello!

    It has been a while since I have posted. There is an odd feeling to surviving. Almost a guilt, because I said my goodbyes, and was at peace with going, but my body was not ready to let go. My best friend ended up calling an ambulance, I was hospitalized for more than two weeks and released. I have been doing a ton of testing since. I have found an amazing pain specialist. Working with a great physiotherapist I got walking again. I am trying to spend as much time as I can with my family, friends, puppies. I am eating good food and playing outside. Pain levels are really high, but I am coping and finding all the joy I can. I am very happy that I get a second chance to find as many silver linings as I can. Life is as always, more good than bad.

    If someone causes us trauma should we forgive them? Keep them in our lives? Cut them out? Are there factors that impact that choice?

    I think there are many factors that impact the choice (are they still hurting you, can you move past, do they accept responsibility and want to change…).

    What are your favourite aids for making life easier?

    I am so fortunate to have so many things to make my life easier. My comfy lift chair, Apple Watch, trike, Medical bed, scoot scoot (my scooter), my accessible bath and lifts are just a few of my amazing aids. What things to you use or hacks?
