I am one of those tough cookies who rarely falls apart. I pride myself at being the last soldier standing. You know the expression "when the going gets tough the tough get going". That was the motto I lived by. I usually didn't even get going, till the going got tough. Now, I have to admit that I just had a few very scary days. My stomach had been bothering me for several weeks and had gotten bad enough that I was contemplating having to call my oncologist. It felt like my stomach was being eaten up from the inside out. I don't know what brought it on but I was just looking for relief. Even though I've read all the stuff on heat and electrical appliances and cancer, I finally broke down and turned to my trusty old heating pad. After two days, I finally got some relief. Today I felt human again. Again, I am thankful for the little things. I felt so good I went outside and started raking the last of the clipping that needed to be picked up. It seemed like I could almost immediately feel my stomach starting up again. I wonder if all the raking is what caused it? I know the vacuum is something they told me not to use while in treatment. I guess that type of activity is more extreme than many other types of activity. This may not have had anything to do with it of course....always looking for answers.
I think maybe the
wheatgrass has finally kicked in. I didn't just feel better today but I had an energy that I haven't felt in a long, long time. I wasn't just pushing myself to get up and get going. I actually had the feeling like I couldn't wait to get going. This is something we are wired with and don't even know it until you lose it. It's like a built in time clock that says it's time to get moving or get started and one day it's gone and you can't figure out what happened. You know something is missing and you're constantly trying to talk yourself into movement but your body doesn't want to cooperate. Whether it's energy, get up and go, gumption or shear willpower we take it for granted and don't even realize we had it till it's gone (like so many things in life). Today I got my wheatgrass growing kit in the mail. If the powder did this I can't wait to see what happens when I start on the fresh stuff. Look out me....here I come!
