Covid vs. Cancer

Hey lovelies, I am back and better than ever and today I want to tell you guys about my struggles that have been going on with this crazy Corona Virus and also having Cancer. Again let me make this clear I am not writing about my cancer as a way to get sympathy; I am writing about it to try and help other people who might be in the same situation or need some inspiration. Anyways, let's get right into it. I was diagnosed in January of 2019 and Covid started in January of 2020. I am always at risk because my cancer is so pervasive and I CAN NOT get sick. If I somehow get sick then I immediately need to go to the Hospital. Me and my family have always been cautious when it came to going out around people and doing things in the public and not from the safety of our house. During the year of 2019 towards the end I lost the ability to walk and stand up and use and feel my legs and feet. Thank you Jesus that I had physical therapy and parents and friends and family that never gave up on me. Plus I was so determined to walk again that I just kept working at it. So that was one struggle that I had to deal with. When Covid got more serious and quarantine started I was already improving on walking and being more independent. i started walking and then BAM, quarantine. This absolutely sucks because first of all I can not go around people in public because I can not be around their germs and get sick. Also I was walking and doing more things by myself and I just wanted to go out and hang out with my friends and be I guess "Normal" for once and not have to worry about my legs or my walking or getting sick. After my struggle with walking I finally overcame it but then I find out that I can not even go anywhere; this put me in a really sad and kinda discouraged mood. But, I learned that you have to look at the good side of things. Like yes, I taught myself how to walk again and finally be able to use the bathroom on my own and cook and get my own food and sometimes help my mom out. I cannot be sad about that. I am just kinda frustrated but you know what I have some of the best people supporting me and willing to do anything for me. During this time, I have also learned who my true blue friends are. I do have to admit that there are some people that I thought would always have my back and support me and want to see me and stuff like that, but nope they don't. That is ok with me because I am very happy with my accomplishments and my family and all my supporters and love and prayers from everybody. I

t truly means the world to me and my family. I am a BADASS and a FIGHTER I will never quit or give up. This pandemic is just a little bump in the road that I will have to learn how to get over. All in all I do have to admit that the struggle of all of this craziness is real but you know what, just stay strong and remember who you are and who loves and supports you. Stay Strong my Lovelies.
