Like Pinkgirl, I let my body dictate my activity. I was fortunate in that for the most part I was able to do day to day activities ALMOST like normal. I had my days, yes, but I think I had more good days than I had bad days. I did what I could and when I couldn't TRIED not to let it get me down. I'm a doer - I'm stubborn and I have a mental thing that says "NOTHING is going to get me down." LOL! Of course, that mental thing proved me wrong on occasion BUT I pushed myself at times and tried to keep my life as normal as possible. It's what I had to do for me and my mental toughness throughout. It kept me sane.

Never feel as if you HAVE to do anything. If you can do and WANT to do then go for it. If you don't feel up to it or don't want too then don't.

Love & God's Peace I send,

Mary Jo
