Lasting Change

The last six months of 2010 were at total write off. I became very sick. If I had known back in June that the dizzy spell was more than a one off incident I would have done something about it but as you do you just battle on with life. During July &
August I was feeling fine again but in September it really started to make itself known – I was tired and dizzy all the time. During that time I barely left the house except to try and go to work which was a total disaster each time. October rolled around and I was still very sick so decided the best course of action was to resign from my job as I felt I was letting them down. One day in November I was in so much pain & my family was very concerned about me that I decided the best course of action was to head to hospital.While I was there I was diagnosed and treated for extreme anemia.

One thing I never did was tell my family why I didn't do anything about it.Part of the reason I didn't do anything about how sick I was is I was worried about what it could be (I thought it may have been anemia, gluten intolerence or lactose intolerence) , also I was going through financial difficulties while waiting for government
financial assistance so going to a doctor was out of my reach.

Now that I am healed I am taking a far better approach to my health – eating better, drinking more water, taking vitamins, exercising more by joining a gym & going to
aquarobics. I am also going to my local doctor and specialists a lot more regularly.

This has taught me to slow down and listen to my body and most of all take care of it.
I'm glad you are taking better care of yourself and I think your redo turned out great!
 
It's always in hindsight that we learn the lessons huh. I'm glad you got everything sorted and that you're on the right track now. Your page is really lovely.
 
good for you for taking control of things! sometimes it takes a little while, but most of the time things fall into place right when they should. (hug) thanks for participating in this week's challenge! hope you'll come back and check out future challenges as well!
 
Glad you've gained control of the situation, are feeling better & are taking steps to prevent future problems.

Beautiful page.
