April 4, 2013
I woke in alot of pain today, my lower tail bone is really painful, just a reminder that I am still on tamoxifen, I am counting the days till next April when I see my Oncologist in Australia and see if I can get off this drug. It can be so debilitating. Some days I can hardly walk my feet joints hurt so bad and it seems to get me in the wrists, on the weekend my knees ached so bad I could hardly get up out of a chair.
So my work out at the gym suffered today I did 45 minutes on the elliptical, resistance of 4. I cringed through the pain and decided not to push it to much, maybe I can go back later this afternoon, I'll see how I feel. 
Today would be my youngest brothers 49th birthday, he passed away suddenly from a brain aneurism, 5 years ago. It kinda reminds us that life is to short and life the best one you have, I guess maybe that is partly why I am so determined to get healthy and fit, I miss going on the long walks with my husband, hiking, camping in the wilderness, all this was taken from me when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, now I want to get this back, I want my life back and I want to be able to live it to the best of my ability, be here for my husband, children and grandchildren for a very long time, I am done letting Breast Cancer define who I am, I'm taking it back, my life that is.
Are you fighting some health demons? Do you want to regain strength and vitality? Maybe check out your local gym, YMCA or Curves, we all have to start some where.
Today's quote.
 Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us.
