Sus..."What about Bob?" was a funny movie.<br />Susannah, don't think in terms of what-ifs, baby steps is probably right (although Bob was crazy). You've taken the biggest hurdle already, now you're at home, surrounded by your loved ones and you can heal with their help and you can take your time too. I have two friends with MS and one of them swears that proper nutrition is winning half the battle. She researches meals and writes down how it affects her and what she should incorporate more and what to omit etc. etc. It keeps her busy and she's become an expert in good nutrition. Heck, she even got some of her friends (including me) to drink a green smoothie every day and you know what? I miss it when I forget to make one for a day. Start with a green smoothie, Susannah! Pour some honey into it if it looks or tastes too "green".

Try not to focus on the success of your treatment, but rather instead on the strength and health of your current state. I love the movie "What About Bob" and how he is always reciting his mantra..."baby steps (onto the bus, onto the boat etc). It's true, you can run a mantra through your mind whenever you feel like you need a little extra nudge. <br />All the best to you and your family. Remember..."baby steps."<br />xoxo BrandiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317198515686034704.post-57699714124658667892015-02-10T12:59:34.281-08:002015-02-10T12:59:34.281-08:00My daughter Elaina also told me I look like Caillo...My daughter Elaina also told me I look like Caillou when I first saw her. You are not alone in your battles and thoughts of What ifs. I have them too. Makes things difficult, for sure. Keep fighting and moving forward. What's done is done. Can't change it. It's up to you (and me) now. All the best. You can do it.

Helping Zoey with her homework, talking to Bryan about the beer bar, building (or tearing down) something with Ozzy. Sometimes even your current "Housewives" saga. Time will pass and things will get on - whichever way they are going to go. You've done the hard bit or wait, you have a hard bit to go but hey, distractions can be fun.

Then you just have to be willing to throw the rest out. I know it is counter-intuitive, and the thought of seeing 5 proteins in itself can make you nauseous, but if you can find one thing today, you have succeeded. May not stomach the same thing tomorrow, but that's tomorrow. <br />You are strong! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
