The Crazy, It's Out There!

@"NightskyeB4Dawn"#10  I have a huge speck in my eye. Endocrinologist made me give up sugar and carbs completely as I have 6 months to get blood sugar under wraps or I will have to take meds so as you can guess I'm not putting up with bullshit from anybody these days! 

I understand what it is like when you have to make life choices to maintain health, but go against what is the norm for you. Stay strong and learn to listen when your body is talking to you.

The middle of January, my life changed. No warning. Not even an explanation.

I am a nurse and why I did not see what was going on, is surprising to me, but it makes all the sense in the world. The minute the nurse I was talking to on the phone, told me to call 911 immediately because it sounds like I am having a stroke, I knew instantly, she was right.

I had enough wit about me that I knew that it was quicker to have my brother, who lived next door, take me, than to wait the hours it would have taken, for an ambulance to find its way out in remote country in the woods. My Brother and his wife, that is also a nurse, dropped everything and came and got me. 

I had everyone that did not know me, thinking I had lost my mind, because I was not strong enough to cry, so laughter was my only way out of Hell and into sanity.

Accountability, responsibility, and accepting the log in my eye that was taking up too much space, is what helped me overcome some of the obstacles that were making my life miserable.

I never thought for a second that I was special, or blessed ad highly favored. I considered myself simply blessed. 2 months of rehab has taught me just how special simply blessed can be. I learned to walk again by learning and accepting my limitations, recognizing and learning from my failures, and learning from what worked and did not work from those around me.

I learned we can't make it alone. And people that you thought were your friends, were not. I also learned that those that you often ignore or pay little attention to, are the ones that care about you the most.

Everything that I thought I knew, understood, and was invested in, turned out to bad choices. I was lucky enough to find out about it before it was too late.

I know. Too much information.

Just sharing.
