First off, Let me say this….. This writing was started on 2-21-16 and completed today 2-29-16. So a little time has elapsed but that is how it needed to be.

2-21-2016

 

I have not written a whole lot in the past few weeks. Their has been a lot going on. Fortunately those things have been good. I am learning as I move forward that we should not just bury a feeling or emotion. We need to decern what is going on within our mind and emotions  and exercise and test them . We can sabotage our  emotional health and the healing of our bodies by allowing negative thoughts to alter the moment we are in. This week I joined the next LIvestrong class as a visitor whereas I have already completed the Y Livestrong program this past Nov . I felt blessed that I was allowed to be with the new class of  cancer patients and survivors. I guess I am the mascot lol

I arrived at the Y this morning and the Livestrong program was already in progress. The trainers were working with the patients on the machines. What they did was to demonstrate to their new patients/ clients the  proper positions to take while working with their bodies on those machines to increase the value of the workout and preventing further injury to the individuals. The trainers then gave them their preliminary starting weights that they should use to help to build their muscle etc.  I upon seeing them working with the new bees made my way to the  special bike that work on. This bikes works great  with my left side issues. I sat down and began my workout I rode that bike for 1/2 hour. The trainer Dan had his eye on me as did Trish the second trainer and Dan indicated that he wanted to take me to a couple of the press machines for my arms and legs. We made it through the arm workout. Dan assisting with the amount of weight put on my left arm so I would not make a bad situation worse. After we finished that I asked Dan to stretch my left side  I had not been stretched since The beginning of Dec when my physical therapy coverage was fully exhausted. The stretching definitely effects my mobility and healing it is something that I cannot live without.

You see going back to that program as a guest was a Miracle in itself. I had gone in a couple of  weeks ago just to sign up for a regular membership the Y allowed me to keep the membership month  by month because I like many cancer patients do not know what tomorrow will bring. So, for me I did not want to be locked into a year membership when there is always the possibility that I may have to stop again at any given moment.

When  you don’t work or should I say are unable to work I feel guilty in any purchase that I make. I need to justify and test the need before I do.

 

 

I just picked up this writing today again the was started last week and I am continuing it now  the date now is 2-29-2016.

It’s  intersting that I wrote about controlling our minds and emotions above on this page and when I was finally drawn back to this blog today I had a personal moment today that challenged me on both fronts.

I went to get of bed today and I sat up a little quicker than I normally do on the edge of the bed and my head swam and I got dizzy. It took a few moments for me to stand up and to move towards my bath. I remained a little unsteady and nervous and then the situation was over.

Given my past history with brain cancer I had some terrible falls due to my cancer I would literally spin and find myself on the ground. My first response was to say God the cancer is back. But I then stopped looked in the mirror and began to test how I looked, my mobility and said to myself, get a grip.

I was thinking to myself there are plenty of other reasons why a person could be light headed besides brain cancer. I got ready and did not make any sudden movements with my head that would make myself dizzy.

I had my breakfast and felt fine I even did a few chores where I did bend and move my head and I was fine. Praise God.

when I finally was set to go I headed out to my dads and brought him our lunch and we spent time talking and I was able to give him the Holy Eucharist. Later we went in and put the television and spent time laughing at an old show that was on😀

It was fun at one point, I was sitting there fogging out I guess and my dad said is there something wrong? You look worried. I reassured him that I was just tired which I was.

My youngest brother came and as did my sister just popped in on her lunch time to see my dad. We were talking and laughing and my sister stopped and said are you okay ? I said yes why ?  I will tell you something I did feel fine but I was tired. They are so close to me that they just knew through their Spirits that there was dis- ease in me today because of what happened this morning.

please, please, if something out of the norm happens to you physically do not go negative it allows unhealthy worries or thoughts to envade your thoughts. That triggers stress, and stress causes Dis-ease in our bodies which then can manifest itself as Disease that we need to fight. Amen.

 

keep me in your prayers please, I will do the same for you all 🙂

I have the Livestrong program tomorrow and I will be visiting 2 separate nursing facilities to visit and bring the Holy Eucharist to friends who are not well. One is a dear friend with Glio like I have battled.

God Bless You,

Danny
