Jan -This is you!
Lost 5% - there's another 95% to play with.
Confidence - you just need some temporary reassurance - you're doing just great!
Independence - it's still there, you just have someone to help now and again until you do it yourself again
Stamina - catch the bus - it's just a different route to the results you want.
Motivation - the doctors and nurses who helped you and your family who stood by you and cared for you.
Identity - you've just added some new facets, familiarise yourself with them and you'll see the old you is still in there too!
You are ok - you're just wearing a different coat that some don't recognise, but that's their problem not yours.
You were a child once -your childhood has gone but you don't mourn for it, you remember with fondness and a smile. Do the same now.
You've progressed in life and taken some new steps, that's all.
The 'old' you is in a photograph album. Bring it out and laugh and recreate some of the situations you pictured.
The new you is here and now.
Don't beat yourself up about it - enjoy it.
Life is for living, change happens, it's how you deal with it that counts!
Love yourself and everyone else will love you for it.
Best wishes
Macca
