A New Normal

Throughout Connor's life whenever his condition worsened and he lost the ability to do something he used to be able to do, or we had to adjust to another piece of equipment he had become dependent on, we used to say we just needed to adjust to our new normal. Instead of focusing on the loss and limitations we would focus on finding new ways of doing things and enjoying what he could do. I still try and have that attitude. Problem is, I really don't like my new normal. I'm now fairly well rested, in much better shape, can make plans on the spur of the moment and have time to sit and write this blog...all unthinkable 16 months ago...but I would trade it all in a second. I would happily be tired and overweight if I could go back to my old normal. I guess sometimes adjusting to hard things is easier than having them taken away.
