I was in the hospital for seven days over Xmas because of last relapse and honestly, they weren't sure I was ever going to walk out of there.
But I got amazing treatment and they were all shocked that my body healed so quickly given where I was. I will never forget what nurse told me--I had to have around the clock freelance nurse care because I was so impaired--when I first started waling again.
She said. You can do this. You are stronger than you think. And made me walk with IVs etc.
So I just have been saying to myself, you are stronger than you think. You can do this. Because that's the only hope.
And that's what I see all the time on this site, I mean some of the stories of recovery are jaw droppingly inspiring and that's why I'm back and leaning on my fellows.
