Jody’s Blog . . . a life after chronic fatigue syndrome

May 22, 2009 

I have had to sleep and rest more in this past week than I have in a long time.

But I’m also able to do much more than I have in a very long time.

I guess it’s like having to stop and put more gas in the tank of your car, the more driving you do. 

I posted a couple of articles this week, and now this entry.

Ncubator’s only been up for not quite 3 weeks, and things feel like they’re coming together faster than I expected.

I’m shooting for 3 new articles up per week, and maybe a couple of blog entries. 

This time last year, I was in the midst of a crash after catching the flu.

Then I twisted my ankle in early June and had to stay off it for a week or so.

The added stressors seemed to make the crash more intense and longer to get over.

 This year is much better.  

Last year I was thinking, wistfully, about writing again someday. Still had nothing to say, nor the energy to say anything with.

Reading seven books per week from the library was my literary achievement.

And, it goes without saying, my emails to my naturopath Dr. Kelly Upcott pretty much every week.

 That was the only writing I was doing, but as I look back I know — and I knew it at the time — writing to her was so important for me. Helped to bring me back from the dead.
