One Foot In Front Of The Other

Have you ever felt like you are trapped inside a bubble? A bubble that is usually clear allowing you to see out of it and others to see in but sometimes becomes foggy or mishapen causing sight to become blurred?.A bubble that is thin enough that sounds and voices are able to be heard through it though they sometimes become distorted causing them to sound like they are coming from deep within a tunnel? Does being trapped in this bubble sometimes make you feel as though you are a hampster running around in one of those plastic exercise balls and you are at the mercy of others to come along and free you from this frenzied trip you are on?



This is how my life has felt for the past 7 months. It all started the day that the doctor delivered my mother's test results in April of 2009. "I am sorry Mrs. O'Dell but it seems your blood disorder has changed forms. . . you now have Myelofribrosis. . . only months left to live."
