It’s tough being the laziest I’ve ever been in my life. I am the poster child for adult OCD. ”Hi, my name is Lisa and I have adult ADHD and OCD.” ”Hiiiiii Lisa!” LOL 
I’ve always been the person who goes above and beyond what is expected. You would hate me. LOL I can’t help myself. My darling dad taught me early on that “you do a job right the first time and you won’t have to do it again.”
He was a perfectionist.
It’s genetic.
Being diagnosed with Stage 4 Lymphoma didn’t scare me (much) after I realized I would live. I thought of it as a vacation, sitting on the deck in the summer sun, blogging away, photographing nature and cooking all those yummy looking Pinterest recipes we all intend to try and never do. However, I did not expect my tumor to pinch the nerves of my spinal cord rendering me unable to walk let alone dart around the kitchen for utensils and ingredients. And I certainly didn’t anticipate ending up with 3 blood clots, one in my lung, one in each leg.
Anytime I have been told to rest in the past, I have not. I haven’t had the luxury to rest. Until two years ago, I was a single mom trying to give my children the best childhood possible and teach them that life IS good. Rest? Ain’t nobody got time for that!
This time though, my body shut down, almost as if it knew I needed to take it easy. There was nothing in the very fiber of my being that wanted to clean or cook. It’s like I went into a low battery mode. For me, very weird. But I followed along and rested.
Improvements have been slow. I’m used to quick change. The last two days, my lungs have felt better. Yesterday, I spent too much time outside and I’m paying for it today. Sometimes it feels like I take two steps forward and one giant step backward. This time, I feel pretty good. I feel like things will continue to move forward. Proof is in the pictures. The first shows all the medicines I was on until early July. The second pic shows my current meds.

Tuesday morning I have a PET scan to determine my progress. I no longer have numbness from my stomach to my toes, it’s from the knees down. Walking is a tad better. Lungs better. The news from this scan just has to be good.
Please keep on praying, my Warrior Peeps. I love you all!
