I’m fortunate that I am still working full-time although I’m typically exhausted after work. I work for the school system and have part of the summer off. This summer I wanted to make the most out of my time. I know that we never know when we may lose an ability. I shared my concerns with my closest family and friends. My sister spends about 3 weeks each summer with me in Florida. We went every where we could! We love exploring and checking out beaches. We went to Nokomis, Fort Myers Beach, Clearwater, and Tarpon Springs. Then my best friend and I spend a week in Key West. It was glorious! She has some serious health issues as well so we both enjoyed having a week with no agenda. We slept in, and wandered around when we felt like it. My QALSody treatments are working fabulously and I was even able to dance one dance for the first time in years. Another friend held my hands so that I could keep my balance. It was one song, one beautiful minute and a half, and I felt like I had conquered the world! After that I sat at the bar and sipped on a pina colda…and we ubered back to our room. I wish all of us had a QALSody-like treatment in our future — our very near future. I know that every activity I do is a gift and I treasure each moment, for all of us.
