Being in the moment...Living in the moment. There are days, like today, where we need to be both.
Being & Living
We have been keeping extremely busy with our huge house FLIP! The days and hours seem to just fly on by~ We have a lot to keep us busy. Yet days like today...Keeping busy, on top of being productive is a good thing! Actually...A blessing in disguise! Days like today. If we didn't have so much to keep us busy. One could really let their brain take over with far scarier stuff. I am thankful to have such amazing support and encouragement from Eric. Especially when new news isn't what anyone was anticipating. With the help of my therapist and LC, life coach. Some medical information should be shared in hopes of possibly helping someone else whom might be in my shoes. Symptoms that to most, would make no sense. But symptoms that could possibly help you stay one step ahead! Medically.
With a few tests that came back far worse than just a few months ago. The remaining lab work also came back over the past few days. It isn't about...Why. It's about...HOW can we help you to proceed forward. When your body starts throwing out some very strange symptoms. Those new symptoms should be shared with your oncologist and other treating physicians. Never try to play, 'Doctor.' Listen to your body! Leave playing doctor to your treating physicians. For reasons that really wouldn't matter nor change anything. I only have one functioning kidney. The drastic changes within labs are due to changes within my body. The kidney that is working isn't filtering properly. We could assume lots of things that have contributed to the cause of losing function of one kidney and damaging the other. Tumors continuing to block organs, bad cells continuing to scramble upward. But would knowing really change anything? Would it change the outcome? No. I am leaving decisions within the hands of my medical team. Life will go on. Life does go on. Same as it always has for this gal on a mission to continue defying the odds.
Being in the moment means finding ways to enjoy life. In the here and now. Finding hope, happiness and ways to create new memories. My dear and close friend Kev and his son are doing just that while taking a cross country trip visiting national monuments through out the great USA. New memories and moments shared between Father and Son. Living in the moment means embracing the good times and the bad times. Finding that silver lining! We will always face obstacles through out our lifetime. Some worse than others. But if we take those obstacles and find a way to power through them by being and living in the moment. We will then realize just how blessed we truly are! There is always something to find in life that brings about a HUGE SMILE! You just have to know where to look and allow your heart to lead the way~
