Chronic, severe, and complicative diseases are always an incredibly traumatic, horrible experience. I have problems myself, and I still feel bad for the people who are, PHYSICALLY, worse off than myself. However, the spirit is an amazing thing, and it can triumph and shine in ways that other parts of the body sometimes can't.
A person's worth is a person's worth. No matter how many times you wake up in the hospital crying and think, "Oh god, this is going to change my entire routine again, oh my god, I'm dying" -- I did this many times through a few diabetes hospitalizations, and well, no. You're not. You're living-- rough and tough and it's not fair at ALL. But you're living.
And you can be HAPPY, and you MUST be. It's all the more important.
*snuggles and pets*
You know the platitude. Whatever doesn't KILL me...
