As I tell my sister, If you do not take care of yourself, you are of absolutely no use to anyone and actually become a burden to others.
It sounds mean, but many moms and grandmoms as well as dads and grand-dads need that reminder now and again when they sacrifice for the sake of others. Ones health and personal well-being should be center stage. It is not being selfish, it is ensuring that one is at their best so that they may be of help to their loved ones.
It doesn't sound mean to me!!!! It sounds like the good swift kick in the behind that I needed!!!! :)
I DID become a burden. Having my children worry over my health is not the legacy that I wanted to pass on!!!! Thankfully it's been a year and I do FEEL better. Will get more labs done and see the doctor in March after our desperately needed vacation!!! Hoping those blood cells are round, red, juicy little suckers!!!!! Lololololol
