Driving and everyday chores, work?

Posted by lizzylou69 @lizzylou69, Nov 21, 2024

Hi! I found out today I have egfr of 23. I would be lying if I said I wasn't afraid. I'm also wondering about driving, work and everyday chores. Can I keep a somewhat normal life? Thank you all in advance.

Thanks for mentioning keeping a sense of humor. Living with a chronic condition requires a lot of internal work in the form of finding peace and joy in spite of what's going on. Easier said than done, but important to maintain sanity. It doesn't matter what form it takes - laughter, prayer, reiki, nature walks, etc.; we all need something to keep our inner fire going.

Absolutely, @diannemr3. Very well said! We must find and maintain that sometimes elusive peace and joy on our challenging journeys. And you are right...it's not always easy to do, but there are several avenues that can get us there. Several of the ones you mentioned have definitely helped me to find peace and joy on my journey.
