Healing

Thank you all for your positive, candid comments on my last post. I believed it to be an extremely imperative lesson for you all because of the impact reframing/cognitive restructuring has had on my life and my illness evolution. I should not be walking unassisted, plain and simple. With a painful ten minutes before I can no longer stand (WITH powerful opiates -- fentanyl and norco), I should have succumbed to a wheelchair long ago in the five years I have been in extraordinary pain. With my pain medications, my diet, and a STRONG will made up of daily cognitive restructuring, I have beat all of the odds. I LOVE MY LIFE despite this disabling condition, and I enjoy each day I am gifted, making the most of it and making the best decisions in all I do (eat, drink, say, think, breathe, see, hear, etc...). No one desires health more than I do and no one makes more sacrafices for it, this I know and this will heal me some day. Right now, it is not my time, but I trust in my actions and in the universe to rid me of this illness soon. I can rest knowing that I have abstained from disease causing animal products, alcohol, nicotine, things I do not need to live, and have done my best to consume disease fighting, organic plant-based foods and juices. If I am meant to heal, it will happen simply because all of the conditions are right, and I learn new information each day to add to them. I love myself enough to make sure of it. I deserve to be healthy and to live without regrets.

Are you doing all you can to heal? And if not, why and what else can you be doing? We are all works in progress, but being stagnant and complacent should not be options.

Happy Healing!!!
