Lucky



Today I am feeling like the luckiest girl alive as I have so many wonderful people in my life.

The last couple of months have been a little challenging as the pain from an injury to my arm has been incredible and has, frankly, worn me down. How people deal with worse and for longer I have no idea.

The pain has massively reduced now my arm has been operated on but my range of movement is incredibly restricted meaning I cannot do many simple every day tasks.

The way friends and family have stepped up to help as been amazing. My has cooked dinners, cut my food up for me and helped me dress myself. My wider family have run errands, mown the lawn and driven me places. My lover has thoroughly spoiled me waiting on me hand and foot for a whole weekend and has been so patient with me as I've not been able to do some of the things we would normally enjoy doing. He's found wonderful alternatives and has been so thoughtful.

I hope most of the people mentioned never read this but that they know how grateful I am for their support.

What makes you feel lucky?

I hear what you are saying. I feel so lucky that I've just been able to laze about all summer and all responsibilities have been taken away from me. Also that we have the means to pursue a hopefully brighter future xx

And you see you are the sort of glass half full sort of gal. It isn't entirely lucky to have heard yourself in the first place and having to have an operation yet you can still feel grateful and lucky.

In the same way I don't hate ticks. They are just doing what they were supposed to do. I am not too bitter that I ignored that odd bite all those months ago. I know it could have been picked up a lot earlier but I feel lucky that I am now on the path I am. I hope I will remember this summer when I just got to 'be' as how often do we get to do just that. And I agree pain is not nice neither is losing cognitive ability and therefore sort of losing who you really are xx

I like to try and find the positives in everything. Not always easy though.
