I'm into my 7th week and I have 5 weeks more to go on the telaprevir. This way of eating has been an interesting one to say the least. I would never have guessed that I would find it challenging coming up with high fat food items to eat three times a day...but I do! I can only imagine how happy my heart and arteries will be once I have completed this phase of treatment.
I shared with readers a few weeks ago that I was starting to get back into some guitar playing and writing. I got right into it this week. Once I started I just didn't want to stop. Even as my fingers were throbbing with pain from not playing for so long I wanted to keep going. It doesn't matter if it is a one person audience or 2,000 individuals in a crowd, playing feels like pure happiness to me.
Immersing myself in the things that bring me joy benefits me so much right now. I don't want to put my entire life on hold during treatment. I want to stay current so I am prepared when it comes time to get back out there post treatment. What a wonderful thing to immerse myself in ... music. It has helped provide a beautiful life for my family and I over many years.
"Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word
happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is
far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity." Carl Gustav Jung (1875 - 1961)
Until next time,
Deborah
