"You will never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have left."
This quote hit close to home. I have always looked at people with extreme physical challenges and I would tell myself that I could never do what they do. How do they handle having surgery, drains, medications that make them sick, house bound for months, etc... I am one of those people, now, and I am digging deep for my strength.
I imagine what it was like to get out and do anything that I wanted to do. I decline more invitations to go do stuff than you can imagine. My precious neighbors catch me doing stuff that I should not do and they run over to rescue me from myself. I have a very strong will. The issue is that too much activity sets me back a bit and I wind up in bed in pain and trying to recover.
So, this is all about mental strength as well as physical strength. As I look back over my life, I can see that I have been in the process of preparation for this battle.
