Wednesday, November 22 - Recovery/Healing Stage
Recovery/Healing Stage
Well this is the second day of non-RT treatment. I am not sure what to call it but I may start with recovery/healing stage. It does seem very much like a transition stage.
On Monday, November 20th, I did feel a little odd. It was as though I was the lone leaf left on a tree. I don't know why... With all the plant imagery with which I am surrounded it seems a little odd. However as the day wore on and there were more and more good wishes I did not seem so stranded... if you remember on The Rafting Anyone Entry on Oct 19, 06 I spoke a little bit about your team that gets you through something like the this. Your team consists of your guides, your companions and your crew.
"This guide is your oncologist, and relationship between you and your doctor is extremely important, journey down the river also requires the participation of your companlions (they are like lions to me) and the crew of your raft. Your companions are your family, friends, and associates. The crew includes the medical support who is involved in your care, including nurses, phlebotomists, laboratory and radiation technicians, receptionists, billing and insurance staff and social workers".
Other Resources
Today I decided that I would find out what other resources are available to me since I seem to be in a transition... I won't see my guides for a while and my crew has changed. I started to explore a group called WellSpring. A number of people, co-workers and neighbours have mentioned that they belonged to it. It seems like something that will let me ground myself as a move through this phase. The fact they they provide Tai Chi and Qi Quong (Chi Kung) is something that has an attraction for me. Another prominent organization is called The Healing Journey. This also sounds quite relevant.
Thanks...
I am amazed that I am still adding people to the blog and moreso that folks are still interested in reading. This is encouraging and I welcome the opportunity to share things with others as we all pass through rough stretches at one time or another. I still have not been able to thank everyone for their kindness personally as I have not had the time to send out personal emails yet. For the present, I am hoping that everyone will indulge me with these updates to the blog as an alternative. Enjoy the day... L.
