Somethings don't go as planned-Adapt
Today is a perfect example of that statement...I was going to go to Nathan's wedding reception but did not because I had to care for myself first. I chipped my front tooth and spent the day waiting for the emergency dentist and going to the dentist for a temporary fix. I really wanted to go to the reception but I had to care for my unplanned accident with my mouth.
Same goes for this disease...there will be things that you dont plan for that are unexpected...you need to adapt. At one time I was allowed to use one crutch...soon I had to back track and use both again because my body was not ready. I had to adapt. And the time when there was strangler stitches hiding beneath the skin at 6 weeks and the doctor started pulling them out and reopened the incision a small bit and I had to back track and stop swimming therapy...that was my only freedom and the only thing I could do...I had to adapt.
Adapting can be easier said than done sometimes...just be strong and adapt...exen if it means to go backwards for a bit. Adapt...it will make you easier to deal with for yourself.
