Well, today’s the start of a new week. It’s been an interesting couple of past weeks. But this is a new week, and I’m ready to put the old behind, and start anew.
While my strength seemed to decline for a few weeks, I think I surprised both Jake the Great and myself with the leg presses. It felt good – strong – and when I’d reached my max and yelled out the last ounce of strength – Jake added up everything. It was 405 lbs! So I’m guessing that my legs are becoming more strong!
And I am too; both externally and internally. Because as my strength increases on the exterior, it pumps me up and helps me know the only thing holding me back, is ME.
I had a chance recently to read the online magazine sent to people with my disease. I think some of the main tops were categorizing your clothes by color so if you lose part of your vision you can still “look” nice. How to deal with the legal aspects of no longer being able to do your job. PT exercises to help you get out of bed more easily. You know, encouraging things like that. J
Me, being me, called the national office to share my story thus far. At first they thought I’d been misdiagnosed until they found me in their data base, from YEARS ago. Then they said to keep them apprised of my progress.
Like they could stop me!!!
But next week my prayer is that I am able to do as much, if not more, than before. But if not this week – I know I will – and soon. And I’ll tell you all about it!!
