Almost a year has gone by and here I sit -
wondering what great things I can write to you. I am still the same, there
haven't been any changes with my health other than more illness. It makes me
sad that I can't give you any magic words that can make me or you miraculously
better. I sit here dumbfounded as what to write. When I was first diagnosed, I
was much more scared than I am today and that is something to share. Receiving
a diagnosis is just that...a diagnosis. It isn't the end of the world but an obstacle
that we can learn to maneuver around, coexist with, handle it, cry about it,
get angry about it, and just get over it! I think that those of us that are
dealing with loss (of any kind) can truly get what I am saying/feeling. Now,
how do I get out of this phase? I have too many things rattling around in my
head as I type this post. I will have more constructive things to share with
you once I get a handle on all of these thoughts, feelings, and ideas.
