Five Years Later...

Sometimes I like to go back in my blog and see what was happening five years ago that month. In November 2018 I purchased my first wheelchair and received my first accurate diagnosis of Metabolic Myopathy. It feels more like ten or 20 years ago. 

The world was without Covid. I was still working full time. My mother was still living in England (not right around the corner.) Life was incredibly different.

Right now I have the luxury of time. I'm able to spend the bulk of my time rebuilding my body. I often feel like the bionic woman. Remember her?

I'm being re-built one trip to the gym at a time.

Five years ago my body was changing in ways that terrified me. Now I'm changing in ways that are thrilling. I see my muscles getting stronger. Change I can actually see! Daily! Change that I'm causing by my actions, not that I'm a victim of. It feels amazing.
