First time I read anything from you and I want to keep reading more. I relate to you in a way. I had a healthy life, walked for 2 + hours daily. Then I stopped when we tee came. I am a happy chubby woman. No major concerns until October 2021 I woke up with a belly that screamed pregnancy to the world. I was not pregnant. Few visits to my doctor, few diagnostic tests and I was told I had a possible cancerous tumor on my right ovary. On Dec 20th I had a complete hysterectomy. Many things changed for me. I am pushing myself to get some normalcy back. I feel each day is a new day, new pain, new challenge. My family tells me I look great and that I heal fast. I have been putting my energy on it. Asking God for my healing. But my son has been helping me. I still cannot drive, push, kneel, lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk. It hurts. I cannot laugh. I cannot cough. But hey, I am alive. You and I are alive and no matter if your speech is not back yet. No matter if your mobility is not the best. Ask god for healing. Try and practice the parts you want to see improved. I am doing it too ! It’s possible!! Like you, I write. I have to share my story with my friends that like to read me. I did not have the courage Before. Now I am better. I wish you healing and I wish your health back. Big hug for you. You are strong woman. Keep going forward.
