Hi everyone. I made it home. I miss my son more than words can say, but I am glad to be back. I made it! It was hard, but worth doing. All I can say for the folks working toward this is:
1) Float with it...it works.
2) The breathing technique works.
3) Have some good distractions with you.
4) And as Lucinda says....Live for the precious, present moment.
I know, easy for me to say now, but it worked for me. This was something I had to do, so I did. As my mom has told me, "Sometimes you have to do it afraid." I still have some fear - my body symptoms still make me feel like crap - but you have to focus. To roll around and wrestle with my son, to see his smile, hear his laugh, and play King Kong-T Rex with him, was (not to be cliche') priceless.
I am energized and hopeful. Thank you again, Lucinda. And thanks to all of you!
