So it has been a while since I have been on here. Life is pretty much just flowing kind of like a winding rocky stream. We are managing school with the kids, Jamie's working as hard as ever, and I am, so I think, mastering this whole stay at home mom gig (which I am actually really enjoying). The last time I spoke with my surgical oncologist I was put on a 10 lb lifting restriction until January. When you think of every day duties in you work place, or at home there is ALOT of stuff that is 10 lbs or heavier. Jamie and I have made accommodations and we are working through it, and I am learning how to live life in a simpler way, taking a step back and trying not to tackle every project in the book. When this all happened I was feeling very down and depressed. People might think "why is she depressed, she got an amazing report from surgery". Sure I did, but there are many other things that I am dealing with and I got sucked into a dark, dark place. I so badly wanted to pursue my career, help my husband with paying bills, and much much more. After coming to the realization that I was not living my best life I reached out to my Dr. and got the help I needed, and I think everyone in my family is appreciative that I did! I am feeling great now, and I am enjoying every single minute of taking time for myself, my health physically and mentally, my family, and spending the time driving my kids to and from school 4 times a day :) This is going to be the LAST year I do not have kids in school all day and I am going to soak it all in, and not feel bad for one minute.
