You must be a very strong person to have gone through so much and still be so active and positive. I'm afraid I'm new at this game and like I said my head is spinning from everything that's going on it's hard to focus. It's a very emotional time and I want to be strong. I have great people being there for me supporting my new journey but I have to be strong for them or they worry so much.

Thank you! I am not so strong, I don’t want to get worse and felt that laying around would definitely weaken me. So at times goto the gym and do very easy exercises. Just getting there was exercise at times. I am a type “A” so that helped. I also tried setting an example for my employees when working. Even tho over 20 years ago, it was still part of my nature.
It’s good to move around and any type exercise normally benefits

Modern medicine is awesome. Please realize and accept that. Also realize Your attitude can be a “powerhouse” for you.. Make it happen by who you’re with and what you do…..any kind of exercise. Mayo encouraged me to walk the hallways . My employees would visit and take turns being my walking companion, I’m sure you realize it can be home or away…..
Discuss this with your primary for their thoughts and ideas..
