My Survival Story

Come meet Dr. Martin Inderbitzin.

Neuroscientist.  Triathlete.  And a pancreatic cancer survivor.

He is the founder of  My Survival Story.

His story has inspired thousands!

He believes that stories have the power to change the way we think, and how we feel and cope with the hardships in life.  Seeing a story of someone who is going through the same thing we are can help change our perspective and mindset.

Dr. Martin is worth a moment of your time... especially if cancer has dogged your journey.  He continues to pay it forward and offers hope in the most beautiful of ways!

"What I learned is that life is short.
Don't wait.
Go out and follow your heart.
Dare to Live! before it's too late."
~ Dr. Martin Inderbitzin

Yes, Indeed!

 

Take a Leap...

 

Blessings and Love wherever the leap takes you!

A January We Did Not Expect!

 What a January!

We started off at a run and ended up in the hospital for a week!  Needless to say, this is a January for the books!

To be honest, we knew it was going to be a tough month.  The Farmer husband had finally decided to have both knees replaced... at once!  Not an easy feat, but if you know him, you know his discipline and motivation are strong.  His ortho agreed and so surgery was set... and it went fine... for 24 hours.

But somewhere in his body, the wiring went haywire and his electrolyte balances went nuts.  48 hours post-surgery his sodium had crashed and things happened fast. He was transported to a high level hospital in the metroplex where we remained for the next 4 days in the critical care unit.  

We learned a lot!  Low sodium levels can cause severe muscle weakness, heart arrhythmias and wacky altered mental status.  Like really wacky!  Bless his heart.  If it wasn't so scary, it would have been hilarious... like the star favorite at everyone's party!  In hindsight, I am so relieved to know he never lost his sense of humor even when things were bad.  (A Blessing I never knew I needed!)

Happy to report we are at home and starting for real on recuperation and physical therapy!

Ready to shuffle off into February!  May you be kind to us!

Welcome 2024!

 

Looking ahead...

A Brand New Year, a Blank page.

A Fresh Start.

Trusting better things ahead.

So,

Take the trip. Snap the pictures.

Make the memory.

Baby steps...

but,

Do. The. Things.

Opt for Adventure.

Write the letter.
Let go of 2023.

Spend time well.

I am not naive.

I know cancer will dictate much of the journey...

but not all.

Choose grace for yourself.

Give space for the difficult.

Cry the tears.

Then,

Do the things that stir your heart.

Here's to better days ahead!

Welcome 2024!
