It Is Approaching That Day Again

I will tell you a little bit about my new life that I am now living. It is certainly not the same as I have lived before. I have had quite an experience over the last little while which has impacted me so significantly and also in a manner that is so positive for someone who has suffered as much as I have.  My life now with my family is so wonderful that it is just amazing and it is getting even better.

If you have been a reader of my articles on here for a relatively long period of time, then you will have an understanding about what I have gone through. If you are a "newcomer" here, then you may not know exactly how I have lived and why. I don't wish to do a whole long article again about what has happened to me and would suggest that all that needs to be done is go back and read some of the articles I have written before on here over the past 2 years about what I have experienced.

Notwithstanding what I just wrote, I do need to share a little bit about what happened to me so that you will understand where I am going now.  I am going to be very quick about it as well.

As you know now, just on the day before New Year's in 2014 and then on January 1, 2015 I was very ill and wound up in hospital with people there who really did not know what my medical problem was. Fortunately, the doctor in Emergency on New Year's Day had the right view about what my illness was so that they literally started treating me the right way probably a day or 2 before I would have died. His view was confirmed after sending my records to a hospital in Toronto.

For about a month or so after I returned home, I was under intense care and still have very little actual knowledge of how I was treated for that time. However, I was treated well and fortunately was able to start coming back to life. For months afterwards, I still had to stay in bed to recover and then started getting out of bed and started getting back to normal life.  We sold our house in Windsor and bought a magnificent new residence in Tecumseh.

I have written a lot about my visits to doctors, the excellent medical care I was given and how a lot of my physical and mental problems have been treated so well. In addition, I have talked about some of the illnesses I have had so that others who may suffer something similar will understand what they should do about it.  To be direct, my illness is not known by very many people so I am hoping that what you are reading may one day be helpful if you suffer something similar, dear reader.

So where am I now? I have been very fortunate. My recovery has been quite amazing and I am still getting better and better every day. While I can never make a complete recovery, it would seem that I am doing a lot better than expected. To be honest, I think even my own doctors are surprised by my good recovery since many people do not always do all that well. Right now, as an example, I am doing quite a bit from an exercise perspective every single day to keep up my medical health. My wife is making sure that the foods I am eating at home every day are beneficial and in the proper quantity. My children help me out in a lot of activities to help make my life so much easier.  I have met many of my friends from the past who have been so positive when we speak to tell me how happy they are that I am feeling better. Moreover, I have made so many new friends who live in my neighbourhood also. They are just such great people because we make sure that everything around us is looked after and that we are feeling well.

I will be starting shortly my third year after the terrible illness that hit me. I did go through a lot to get at where I am at now. Notwithstanding how much I have done up until now, and no matter how well it may appear to be, from what I understand, I am still relatively at an early stage of my recovery. There is a lot more for me to do to get even better because, after all, my objective is to have a much longer and healthier life.  I am here also to make sure that my family members do well after how much they have done for me.

Notwithstanding how well I have been doing up until now, I must admit that, when this month of December approached, I started getting a little bit nervous. I am sure you understand why. Nevertheless, I am certainly not going to have a negative feeling at all when the end of December comes. I will tell you, dear reader, that I no longer will be upset remembering how close I came to the end of my life. Rather, I will look at it as the beginning of my "new life."  I am here to make sure that my family does well because of how they have treated me during such a difficult time for all of us. I want to make sure that I am a good friend of the people I have known before and those whom I have recently met.

I do have to say that I wonder what will happen to me in the future. Notwithstanding my age, I do like to work. However, I do not ever intend to get involved in a 9-to-5 job again or even to start my own business. It really is not something that interests me. My view is different. I do not mind at all helping out someone if they need assistance but only on a temporary basis. Heck, if I come up with a great idea about a new business, I do not mind trying to find a person to do it and helping out a bit when they start out.

I do have a life that likes doing new things regardless of age. I would like to help out people who are positive in what they are trying to achieve. I think I have some ideas based on everything I have done in my many years to help out those who are just starting something new in their life. Moreover, I am quite prepared to be positive with these people about the good things they are trying to do and am not afraid to warn them not to do some of the negative activities that they might be doing even if they, themselves, do not know how bad it might be.

I am especially here to help out my children achieve their positive goals in their lives. We have talked about how I can help them and I intend to do so.

Of course, there is my wife to whom I owe everything that I have achieved since I have recovered from my illness. Her life with me when I have been so ill has been just as magnificent as it always has been . What she has accomplished since I have been so ill is so wonderful.  I have never heard her to be negative about anything no matter how difficult it was for looking after everyone when I was so ill. She was always completely positive in helping me out no matter how hard it was in any particular situation.

I am looking forward to the start of my third year of my new life. My new life will be just fabulous. I absolutely know it!
