Confrontations
When I said, in the first entry of this blog, that I saw the day after my latest visit to my oncologist as the first day of the rest of my life, it was because I realised that I had to make the change from fighting against the chemo to fighting with the chemo. And I knew and know that it would not be easy.
Many moments will occur that will continue to confront me with the “limitations” that come with that decision. End of last week saw some of these confrontations happen.
I received notice of the memorial service of my dear friend who passed away today a week ago. According to his wishes, the service would be held on a boat in the Rotterdam harbour. Considering that I can’t even walk for more than 15 minutes, attending the service was out of question; just getting there would take me 1,5 hour at least. It was a blow and a serious one.
But there is always something to balance. On the day the memorial was taking place I received my home trainer.
very courageous blog… thank you for the insights.
