hello to all my hcm extended family
I hope all are feeling well,and if not atleast confident and hopeful that tomorrow will be better[lets pray}.I went to the beach today its about a 20 min drive from my house.their is a boardwalk and it was a gorgeous day.windy I should say really windy my face and neck are as red as a tomato.I walked further today than since I was diagnosed 4.5 miles.that might not sound like alot but .I have had days when I had to stop and lay on the ground walking .5 of a mile.I havent felt that way recently THANK GOD!!!! I did not notice any symptoms I dont know if its just that I have adjusted to how I feel or what.I think these medications toprol etc.are working to some degree I still feel frustrated when I see all the other joggers etc.out there and I know that that isnt me,but today as I indulged in an unhealthy dose of self pity.Up the ramp onto the boardwalk comes a man a little older than me mid to late 40s in a wheel chair.he turned on ahead of me and I was walking behind him for A while and I prayed for him.{in my head}and began to be grateful again and thanK God for what I can do,and I wish I could hold onto that attitude all the time ,but its fleeting and usually skitters off once the rest of lives clamors come flooding back into my head.you know the usual suspects bills job family etc.I just wanted to share this with all of you.I could smell the ocean,hear the waves and watch the seagulls attempt to use me as target practice{only kidding,but not really}I find strength when Im afraid or anxious about tomorrow knowing all of you out there are dealing with this successfully each day. Im so grateful to Lisa for turning a tragedy in her life into something that helps so many.take care mike
