You are right, that accepting change is the difficult thing. I tried my best to accept all of this, however, I am still going to try my best to get better.

I know all this must be very discouraging to you at times. It's hard to accept a diminished sense of oneself. I don't think you're any less the person than you were before, only different. I think accepting change is the difficult thing, not changing. That's why getting old is so depressing for so many people. They just can't let go of the person they used to be. nothingprofoundhttp://wwwaphorismscom.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922585504516430005.post-29170076932100737702013-09-24T20:08:10.199-04:002013-09-24T20:08:10.199-04:00That's such a cool picture of you on the mount...That's such a cool picture of you on the mountain, Yun Yi. You can never go wrong by honoring what your body's telling you, even if it means slowing down or limiting certain types of activity. I do think that one's individual outlook has a lot to do with how they navigate chronic disease, and that keeping focused on enjoying what one can of each day helps a lot. At least, that is what I've learned from having sons with cystic fibrosis. Glad to hear about the herbs working for you. Therapies like that typically can't hurt and may help, and there is such a wealth of good info on nutrition and chronic disease on the internet that the possibilities for designing your own treatment plan are endless. Hang in there, girl!!!Helena Fortissimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038388794311046455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922585504516430005.post-27596956343961844182013-09-24T15:54:51.351-04:002013-09-24T15:54:51.351-04:00Madilyn, your comment brought tears to my eyes!

I just want to say that you are such a wonderful kind person that words cannot truthfully express my appreciation for knowing you.

Nothing wrong with taking risks and trying. I truly admire your “toughness” of character and that you continued trying even when it was the more difficult choice. I am so sorry the illness has caused you to not be as “able” as you once were. That you have continued trying shows a real strength of spirit. I’d like to suggest that you keep taking those Chinese herbs that have helped, and maybe there will be other remedies to be discovered too.<br /><br />I love that picture of you climbing the mountain! Even though you may not be able to do exactly that again, bravo for having done it in the first place. That is something to be proud of!
