My PH Story
It has been five years and I think the hardest part of all of this was waiting to feel like I used to. Here’s where the learning to be a different version of yourself comes into play: I know now that I probably won’t ever be a jogger again….but I enjoy walking. I won’t ever have the ultimate energy I had….but I enjoy slowing down and really seeing what is around me and hearing what my kids have to tell me every day. I am blessed with teenagers who understand that life is not guaranteed – so I have close and special relationships with each of them. I am blessed with friends, colleagues and family who have held me up through the tough moments and will likely need to do it again before it’s all said and done."I just wanted to give up and stay in bed. But that’s just not who I am. I am a fighter"
