Thank you so much for sharing. Your journal idea is awesome. My Chaplin friend I made at the hospital suggested something similar as well. Its always helpful hearing everyone's stories and how they got through everything. How are you feeling now? Have you been able to ride your horse yet?

@msfins I’m feeling great! When I lost all my water weight I was skin and bones and no muscle. But I added yoga to my walking and then eventually started lifting weights again. I was back in the saddle in September, which was my goal. But my friends had to lift the saddle onto my horse for me until I built up my arm strength. I go to Mayo the week of the 10th for a check up and heart and lung biopsy. Hoping those tests come out good so I can continue to progress.

@msfins, I hope that you are enjoying a sunny afternoon like I am today. Please, let us know how you are feeling now that you are beyond the first 3 weeks of surgery and recovery.
Have you attempted to start a journal? What are your thoughts about journaling as a way to support yourself and move through the difficulties that you have encountered?
