Day 8

I have made it through day 8. Woo Hoo. Big accomplishment. I talked to my Mom and all 3 of my sisters today. That's always good to boost your Mood. So I have decided after talking with my Mom that I am going to reward myself for good days. I am going to get a Chart and some bright happy stars. On the days when I am upbeat and feel good I will give myself a Star. I am hoping after a while of looking at the Chart I will have more Star spots than empty spots. This is good motivation for me. Jeff and I went for a "short" walk today. All the way around the block. It felt good to be up and moving. I even unloaded the dishwasher. Woo. It's a great day in my book. Started slow but seems to be ending on an upswing. I am going to try the Protein drinks every morning. Not sure if they are helping but it can't hurt
So, Deanna (my oldest sister) is my new Advice giver. She just says it like it is and puts it right out there for you. Funny thing is what she says makes total sense. We were talking tonight and she said I need to just worry about "Me" right now. Anyone that know me well knows how hard that is but I think she is right. I honestly don't have anything else to give anyone. Not that I don't love you all and in the future I would give you a "Kidney" haha. (If they are still functioning) if you need one but for the next few months it's all about me and my care. Thanks for listening.
