I am so obsessed with health, fitness and getting back into shape again. Simply because not everyone is being given a second chance to live, so I have to make full use of my precious time. My Brain Tumour is far from over, almost half of the big mass is still lodge in my head. The neurosurgeons cannot take the whole lot out because of the size and the location, it is at the stem of the brain and the size of a golf ball, half of it was already cut. It is affecting my motor skills and balance so I am still a bit unsteady in my steps and slow in my walking. It didn’t bother me at all, I just lost my usual sway and my recovery is swift and uncomplicated, I have gone past my second year now. God is not finished with me yet, I am working in a lot of projects for Him, my hands are full. The Lord is giving back my lost time and I am catching up fast, He just made made me rest and I have the most wonderful time with Him in the last two years.
My new purpose in life? To be healthy, and wealthy and wise. I used to be healthy but still hit by a deadly illness, but not wealthy and wise, getting there. I am in good shape these days and my overhauled brain is working wonders too, sharper than before. Since the tumour is benign, good thing it is not playing up anymore. The doctors says that my operations went very well mainly because my body is fit and organs are exceptionally healthy.
I am a big fan of natural medicine and not into pill popping, I am into natural, safe and healthy supplements. Even my recovery are my self-help therapies, I researched from health sites, read health and medical journals, and religiously following them, with my doctor’s advice. I am watchful on new medical breakthroughs I could share with anyone lest they might be struck with the same. Now I am moving on into adding more years into my life.
