Moving on...

I want to start this post by saying thank you to all of you who have supported me during this journey. What a ride! This blog has been a great way to communicate with everyone but I think it is time to stop. I am moving on... This will all be a part of my past now and I look forward to what the future holds. I am getting back to work in the future and really looking forward to it. I will continue to heal and hopefully by this time next year I will be feeling close to 100%. The Dr keeps saying it will be a year before I feel the results of the surgery. I pray that this surgery was successful and not something that needs to be done again in the future.

This whole experience has taught me sooooo much. I have a different outlook on life and how I choose to live it. I am thankful, blessed and thank God daily! Noone knows what life has in store for our future so let's make every minute count. God bless each and everyone one of you. Don't forget to stop and enjoy your "GOON"!

From me and my family, we truly thank you for your prayers and support!
God Bless
Amy

PT, Reike & Light therapy

I started physical therapy and think it is going to help. I do feel that it is helping to loosen my neck muscles and get things heading back in the right direction. I will go 3 times a week for the next 3 weeks. I plan to return to work at the end of the month, so I am hopeful that this helps. I look forward to getting back to my normal life! In addition to PT I have started light therapy to help generate new/healthy cells as well as Reike(alternative healing method). The attached link is a great description of Reike. http://www.reiki.org/FAQ/WhatIsReiki.html
(Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. )

The therapist asked if I would allow them to do a case study on me and I gladly accepted. The more that people can understand about my condition the better.

I hope you are all enjoying your summer.
