Cranky, dull, tired.
What was I like before?
I'm starting to forget
Life before meds.
Did I complain?
Was I stiff, hobbled,
Whiny?
Like those around me now?
Did I long to sit all day,
Watching the wind
Blow?
Did my head hurt everyday?
I'm starting to forget,
What it was like.

sorry for the return of the "word verification". Got first spam (above), pisses me off.
You were a strong, vital woman in the prime of your life, as you will be once again as soon as this is over. Snap out of it!
Yes Mam! :)
I think I know you a little now and you are definitely not the sort to complain or be a little whiny, hobbled & stiff!
You are not like those around you either.........you are different.......in the nicest possible way!
Watching the wind blow is ok though....That is what it was invented for;)
Your head hurts for a very good reason..........How can one feel better if one doesn't hurt a little before hand?
Just don't forget to remember to not forget;)
Cutting commences:)
Thanks Jae.
You have just a little more left, so you'll remember all at once. Like people with amnesia, memory comes all together.
But wind... it's so beautiful... I used to watch it without treatment.
Before meds? You were, well, a whirling dervish, a bright spot. You were fun, funny, and you laughed with your whole body. You were full of engery, spit and vinegar, zest and zeal. Yet you still took time to sit and chat, enjoy the sun on your face, the wind in your hair... and then you were off again, like a whirlwind. And you are still that girl! The very same girl I danced salsa with on a picnic table more than 8 years ago. She's still there. And when you are done with your treatment, you will be that girl again... only with a new wisdom that comes from suffering and sacrifice.
THANK YOU Kate, thank you. Keep me in check, tell me when I get there, ok?
