56 days into the process. Wow.
One thing I highly recommend is not thinking too much. There is definitely such a concept as "overthinking". You can start being annoyed by the pills and medicines and shots. Yes, it's mundane and routine to wake up every day and count pills to swallow. The doctor's appointments can take forever (although not in my case, not at all), and there is always the insurance company nonsense.
But that's nothing compared to what would be happening to me if I weren't taking medicines and seeing doctors and getting MRI's and xrays and shots and... well you get the point. Sometimes I read or hear something someone writes or says, and I want to yell, "Cut it out!" The sad thing about being human is that there is always someone worse off than you are. There's always someone whose personal hell is a lot hotter than yours.
The happy thing about being human is that there is always someone there who is looking to lend a hand, to share some kind words. There can be a lot of pleasure in the simplest meal, a lot of joy in the briefest conversations. Stop worrying, stop thinking. Put your faith in the doctors, let them do their job. Let people help. Find friends you haven't met yet. Touch base with old friends. And love your family.
Live.
