Hi Dixie,

Super awesome to hear you forging your glorious path ahead!  (Like I ever had any doubt!)  Best and only thing for the headaches really is fresh air, lots of water, and deep breaths.  You've totally got this darlin!  Remember, you can't change the past, or control the future, all you have is THIS moment right now.  Do what you can to make it the best moment it can be.  It's all about perspective- keep yours positive and be proud of yourself!  I'm proud of you.

Hey Dixie! I finally found your post! Can't get my eyes to focus yet! LOL how is hubby? Hope you are enjoying your time! So proud of you and thankful for your friendship! Today, even though I feel crappy, I'm beginning to think we will get this!! All of us! We are doing this together! So many people on this journey together! It is amazing! I've never felt a fellowship like we have! Finally feel like I belong! Stay strong honey!

Congratulations Dixie! Your body is ticked right now and is punishing you with a headache. I find that laying in a dark room with a cool rag on my forehead helps. Just hang in there. I'm so proud of you and thewaz!

Hugs,
Minn

A month will be here.  A month from now.  Just focus on today.  Seriously.  It's the only thing keeping me sane and straight and focused.  I wouldn't have made it to day 15 if I thought ahead.  Remember..we both did the one hour at a time.  Now we're at one day at a time. No difference. Small goals each and every day.  You are so on your way.  Exactly one month from today (I have it on the calendar) we'll compare notes of where we are on that given day.  Date?

Hi waz... Thanks for the advice big hugs. It's like u knew what I was thinking. I was laying here ok how am I going to be in a month and etc... So I felt a little panic then told myself to shut up!;) so thanks for the advice. I'll try Aleve. I've been taking ibuprofen and it usually helps but I heard Aleve is good. Again big hugs and thanks. I'm just trying to focus on finally having time with my Hubby and kids today!!!
Eva clock watcher!!! Lol but good job. I'm proud of u!!!! Woot woot

Day 6 woot woot!  So proud of you. It will be 3.5 days in 1.5 hours for me, not watching the clock at all ;)
Hope your head feels better :)

Just wow Dixie!  Aren't you proud of YOU???  I'm freaking over-the-top proud of you.  Headaches still plague me. I take an Aleve, which works best for me, and then I'm good.  So now you can forget the hour by hour stuff and concentrate on each day.  I'll tell you...if I look ahead it's frightening.  So I only look at today. I make some really simple goals for myself.   Achievable goals for that day only.  And when I accomplish them, I'm proud. Today one of my goals was to garden for 2 hours.  Well 5 hours later, I finally called it quits.  One day.  Then tomorrow take on that day.  That's tomorrow.  Focus all your energy in the moment.  It keeps you strong.  It keeps you focused. Most important it doesn't overwhelm which is the LAST freaking thing any of us need to add to the stress of healing our minds bodies and hearts.  So proud Dixie!  waz
