The Runaway Brain

Last night my O no, its is going to be awful brain took over and wouldn't let me sleep. It pictured tortuous scenarios of my future, after being diagnosed with cancer. Mind, you the cancer hasn't even been seen by an ocologist, but since the biopsy came back that the cancer was still there, I have been in the constant state of worry and insecure feelings.

After taking my 3 advil tablets for pain, I finally drifted off and woke up grateful to be alive and thankful for a new day. What was that all about last night? No time to review why my brain went nuts. Things to do. I attended my morning online meeting, saw a client online and took a walk with my dog.

Finding ways to redirect that runaway brain is important at this stage of my aging. Now I get to be an expert on navigating the world of insurance authorizations, doctors visits and kinds of treatments! Mental health is crucial to staying hopeful and following through with anything that is needed to be cancer free.

The good news is that the appointments for help are set up now and I just have to show up and let them do what they do best.
