Guest guest Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Today I made my reservations for the condo near Dr. Feng. Next week I will have to start taking my pre-surgery supplements and change my diet. It's getting closer! I think I am going to start doing the detox baths now too. I'm still feeling anxious, but in a good way. A friend of mine wrote this to me today... " Physically, you are dealing with a long term illness, but there is a light at the end, soon. That is scary in itself. You have felt one way for so long and now the opportunity to feel better is scary. Like a crutch. you won't need the yuckiness anymore. It's like taking off something you have been wearing for a long time and feeling exposed. " She was right, and I had never thought about it that way. It's silly to think that feeling healthy, feeling normal, is scary, but it is! It's been 10 years since I haven't been overwhelmed with worry and fear about how my body is going to feel or react to everyday things. I don't really remember what it feels like to feel normal.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 , That's wonderful that you have a friend that believes you and is there to support you. Many of us get more support and understanding from our friends than we do from our families. Love, Anita reservations Today I made my reservations for the condo near Dr. Feng.
