"Though we have a blended family, I feel completely financially responsible for my children. And so I feel that overwhelming feeling of having to make sure I protect my employment. So that is, number one. So I'm like whipping around the city just trying to make sure I was in three places at one time. Try to schedule a doctor's appointment, especially when you don't want to, like a mammogram or OB-GYN [and it falls by the wayside]. I'll make my haircuts! Somehow I'll find time to get my nails and toenails done, but when it comes to my health, 'Eh, meh' I feel fine. I feel good, I feel good enough.
"So I learned, you can't take your health for granted and you don't necessarily know what's happening even if you think you feel great. So yes, I was the lowest person on my priority list and I now know, if you aren't there, if you aren't alive, nothing else you do matters, and you can't be a great mom from a hospital bed. So you have to give yourself a break, you have to make sure you take care of yourself. You have to make sure that you keep those appointments."
