Change of pace

Pace it how ever you please

Hi Fox. Hi everyone. I've just logged on for the first time in some months... Only to get sucked into the first thread i see It sound like you have accomplished a lot over recent months fox. Damn good for you! Your post resonated with a conversation that I had with a friend this week whereby I was describing how when I fell ill in mid 2012, all I could think about was what I would do next, and when i got better, and before I died. Everyone approaches serious illness differently hey. to be honest, the first year was a tricky one for me. Probably because I was taking anti-cancer drugs which competely ruined my quality of life. As you put it, weight loss, strength loss, psychosis. Well, for me not quite the last one but boy was I getting close! but since ceasing treatment in sept last year and still NED, honestly life for me has returned to normal. Just as I wanted it to. Sure, I graduated from uni, got a promotion, went on a tropical holiday with my family etc etc. before I wanted so badly to do something different to show myself (?) that I was appreciating every day alive, but now, well, I just feel good to exist and want to continue my good work in the world. Right now I work with drug addicted offenders. Next I plan to return to uni (sucker!!!). when I was talking to my friend the other day I described how one day I got ill, thought I might die, then every first event after that time was a miracle (e.g. Bday, Xmas). but I quickly got sick of the anxiety and intensity of those emotions. So here I am. Asking myself what I would do if I knew this was my last six months on earth. And the answer, I would be with my family (check), I would be helping people (check), I would be learning (hello uni), and I would be pursuing my passion for fitness (this one i will improve on haha). Go get em guys. if u don't have goals, make some like fox. Think of your ultimate life... who knows what's around the corner. seriously! We just don't know what science has in store for us. let us fight and live with this disease as chronic, rather than a death sentence. And if it tickles your fancy to check off the bucket list then rip into it. But if it tickles your fancy like me to maintain adventure as well as a normal existence, them do that too. Sending inspiration x 

 

I was sure you were feeling well and moved on. Stay that way. Fox.

Diana and Frank

I've got the image of a southern belle sipping a mint julip. Parasol in hand and hoop skirt ( borrowed from Donna). Sitting in the shade, fanning herself. All while she sneaks gazes at Frankio ( she shortens it to Fabio)  splitting cord wood. Shirt off. Glistening sweat running down his tanned pecs and chiseled biceps. Her tongue surfing her lips. Never hearing the conversation around her. She excuses herself stating she must go and change into something less restrictive. He never looks up. Drives her crazy. Her visitors ask if she is ok. She appears to ignore them. She walks away, almost stumbling as she lets out a deep breath, tiny squeal and a shiver. She thinks to herself," I wonder if he has a Harley?".........

 

One time I had 2 brain scans fairly close together. Everyone thinks they are comedians. We've all heard, "When they looked in your head did they find anything?" "Was it empty?" or some such nonsense. So I was telling them that with the first scan they found a bunch of rocks. The second scan was to figure out what kind of rocks they were. I just take it for granite.

Keep the attitude. Despite more crap going on, you exemplify what I'm talking about. In a previous post when others wondered where you had been, I told them that you would be posting soon because regardless of what was going on, you cared about others too much. Share the Karma girl.

Have a great vacation. I suggest that you rent Harleys. I bet you didn't think of that did you?
