I look at the above photo and just love it! My children are having fun playing at the beach and I'm blessed with another moment and day to witness them digging in the sand, finding beach treasures, laughing, and dirtying the car and house! Life can't be any better then this!
The Walker life has not been dull, and many of you know that our life is typically far from boring! It seems like every hour we have a new event and something new to share. Most of you know that we have purchased a home in Puyallup. We are excited and feel very secure about our upcoming move! This home was meant for us!
As far as the recovery it has been going in a positive direction! My blood pressure was 100/60 the lowest since the bleed! I'm able to do the eliptical at the gym at a fairly hard pace for forty minutes. My brain feels faster and I'm pleased with my gains. I'm now also able to recognize and embrace the changes that the bleed left me. Some changes such as being thankful for life is positive; however, other changes such as my body getting tired faster and dealing with painful headaches at times are not always fun, but I'm tolerating them. Swallowing can still be hard, but my body is adapting. Emotionally I'm getting there but still working on dealing with bouts of depression and grieving the many losses that have occurred this past year and half. However, I now understand that it has been impossible to work on recovering from a bleed let along dealing with the loss of loved ones and friends. In other words I'm ok with where I'm at right now. The whole recovery will continue, and what counts is allowing the healing to continue regardless of the amount of time it may take.
every trial in my life has brought me to THIS place.....a place where nothing is perfect but everything is great. i wouldn't change a thing. OK MAYBE A FEW THINGS!!!!
