I have been thinking a lot about control. When you are first given a diagnosis you loose all control. Doctors, nurses, hospitals, tests,scans. Then drugs that make you feel your loosing your mind. Your whole life is be here, go there. I am very blessed to have a wonderful man in my life, and awesome friends to make sure I was where I had to be. But, I had no control over any of it. I did not even have control of my thoughts.
Now I have gained back control. I control when I have treatment, I control my life again. It is so important for people to have a sense of control no matter how small. If taking some control means a cheeseburger, get them a cheeseburger.
I feel so much better just by having a control of my life. I no longer am lingering, in a holding pattern. No, matter how sick or confused someone may be they still need to know they are in control. Even if the only control is a cheeseburger.
