Those were the words! Those were the words I knew were coming but was still in some kind of denial hoping they would not come. On one hand I'm actually relieved to finally have a reason why I'm in so much pain all the time, but on the other hand I'm completely overwhelmed and almost in a state of shock. I mean I'm only 32 years old! But what do ya do? Well I'll tell you what I did do and it's Google it. Against all that I know and would recommend to anyone else, I Googled it. Talk about overload of information. From causes, to testing, to treatments anything you could want to know is out there. But with all that good info comes the bad. But we won't get into all that jazz.
I am so thankful that recently I have fell in love with working out. I know this might be hard for some of you to believe, but I am so disappointed if I miss a day and make an effort to get some kind of exercise daily. I know this will help my body so much in the long run in keeping me mobile and healthy. I am also thankful that this is something we do as a family, and I know that it is a permanent fixture in our daily routine. I can tell, even after only a few weeks, the days that I miss and they way I feel when I miss a workout. That is motivation alone to keep on this healthy lifestyle track.
So what's next? Well I am being referred to a specialist, hopefully in Columbia, that can help me with a treatment plan. I'm hoping for the best case scenerio and I will be feeling better sooner than later. I know with the support of my friends and family and my faith in God that I will only get better. I know there will be bad days, but I will look forward to the good days. It's just amazing how your life can change with just one phone call. Sometimes for the better and sometimes it's not so great but it's all a learning experience and everything happens for a reason. If He leads you to it, He will lead you through it.
Some of you may be thinking, why is she blogging about this? For anyone who knows me, they know that writing is my personal outlet. It's the first thing I think about when something happens in my life, whether it be good news or bad. It's a way for me to get my emotions out because we all know there is more room out than in. It's very therapeutic to me and it gives me a peace of mind. So I thank all of you that have taken the time to read and listen, and if no one reads it that's fine too. At least it's out and weighing a little less on my mind.
