A time to recharge...

A time to recharge...

The beginning 3/27/2005
Before any major achievement begins, a time of reflection is needed. This weekend I was able to reflect on one of the milestones in my life that has made a large scale change. My Wedding day was 6 years ago today, and everyday I count my blessings.

I am thrilled that I am not facing this hardship on my own. I have a loving husband who in this last year has given me the strength and encouragement to hope for a day where I will be ME (Pre-RSD). No matter how long it takes, he is not leaving my side. Six years ago today, I was standing face to face with him saying I DO on an Easter Sunday and this weekend we escaped to a B & B to take time out together reflecting on memories made from our Wedding day till today. Most importantly being the best of friends, and making sure each of us knows that we still love and care for each other. It was great to take time out together making new memories and to reinforce in my mind and heart the care I will continue to get when I head up to Tampa for my Ketamine treatment in 7 days.
Our 6th Anniversary

So for today and the week ahead my attempt will be to focus on the positives in my life like my wonderful husband of six whole years today (YAY US) and not my increasing nerves about my upcoming date with Dr. Kirkpatrick.

The begining of us sharing how RSD has impacted our lives.

My favorite Therapy, Jason, Lola and swimming!
Myself and Jason put this blog together so we could share how we are dealing with our new life with RSD. We will also use the blog to update our family and friends while I go though my upcoming Ketamine treatment and any treatments following. We will both be able to use this as an outlet while we handle the daily challenges RSD presents in our lives.

A special thank you to my Mom and Uncle Joe for suggesting and inspiring us to set up a blog. It was something we never considered, however we are intrigued and looking forward to seeing what this will bring to our lives.

Thanks for being a part of our journey!

P.S. Thank you Karen Smith for being my first follower and one of my biggest cheerleaders!
