You, and your body, have indeed been through...Kim, <br />You, and your body, have indeed been through a lot. My doctor told me it would be a year before I started feeling like my old self, and like you, I was impatient. Exercise will help speed the process along. So strange that the thing we have no energy to do, is the same thing that gives us energy. A perfect "Catch-22."<br /><br />In many ways, your post is similar to my post this week: Swim toward the light. I've spent time this morning reading God's Word. Thank you for reminding me about Psalm 121.<br /><br />Heal well, my friend,<br />BrendaBreastCancerSisterhood.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954964330418898117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241911657406834589.post-78435682175051128062010-11-29T19:06:34.918-06:002010-11-29T19:06:34.918-06:00Thanks for stopping by, Kim.

I'm a bit anxious about how my body will respond, but I'm confident I'll make it through. What a ride, sister! I see you've been on a similar path, and I am encouraged by your heart and progress. I think one of the things I "fear" the most is finishing chemo and then wondering if the cancer will return. I know I can't "live" there, but there are times when my thoughts take me there. <br /><br />Enough for now; thanks for joining me on the road. It helps to know that I'm not alone in the water!<br /><br />peace~elaineelaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241911657406834589.post-52343454620149243302010-11-29T09:23:01.767-06:002010-11-29T09:23:01.767-06:00Kim, I love the analogy with the moat and castle. ...Kim, I love the analogy with the moat and castle. I totally relate to swimming in the moat attempting to get back to my castle of good health and wellness! I think your nurses are correct, it will take time to get over the fatigue factor. It's hard being patient I know. Glad you got some needed rest and family time.nancyspointhttp://www.nancyspoint.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241911657406834589.post-71609641382401665892010-11-29T07:19:25.863-06:002010-11-29T07:19:25.863-06:00Another insightful post Kim and one I have earmark...Another insightful post Kim and one I have earmarked for my latest JBBC feature - Friday Round-Up - the best of the week's blog posts.
