Admitting One's Limitations

Ok, I give in. I have to admit I am sick. I'm not superwoman. I have to accept that I have limitations I didn't have before. I have to accept the fact that without the help of others I can't get through this, but at the same time be thankful that those individuals are here and willing to help.

This round of chemo is kicking my you know what in the worst way. Each one seems to be getting worse. I have to remind myself that I'm undergoing one of the most physically difficult medical treatments the human body has to endure. I have to stop and rest. I have to take care of me. Yesterday I didn't take care of me and it ended up with me passing out when we went to dinner. Fortunately I'm ok, but it was a harsh reality call that I can't put off eating, even if it means just eating a piece of cheese to hold me over. Some lessons are learned the hard way I guess....but that is one I heard loud and clear.
