UPDATING THE ADVANCEMENT OF MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY IN MY BODY - STAYING AT HOME.

 Every day I tried to follow my schedule as much as possible. I would start my day by praying. Afterward, I would organize, dust, wash, sweep, cook, read, and write week in and week out, to the point that in six years, I was able to present my book, 'The Visit and Other Short Stories' to my beloved friends in Miami, FL; I also helped to get our Florida house ready for sale and, after selling the house, helped with the necessary packing so we could move to Georgia.

UPDATING THE ADVANCEMENT OF MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY IN MY BODY - LIFE WITHOUT A CAR.

The first days after I gave up driving, since I was not even able to climb up to get on a bus, I thought I would feel trapped staying at home. Thanks, to God, though, I have been a resourceful person and was able to manage to reorganize the use of my time.

I started by reviewing which tasks I was still able to do. Then, I did my schedule. On Mondays, I would clean what we called the TV room, the office, and the guest bathroom. On Thursdays, I would do our bedroom and bathroom. I would cook on the weekends when my husband was at home in case I needed help.

After the chores, I would relax, check my e-mails, make a couple of calls to family and friends, and read and write every single day.
