One of the first days I forgot I was sick.It’s really hard after a life-changing moment, good or bad. Being diagnosed with a chronic illness really threw me a curve ball. There was always a possibility of Lupus because my grandmas had it, but I never expected an IBD. I would wake up, a couple seconds would go by, then I’d remember. It felt like a nightmare. This winter day had been a couple months after being diagnosed after a flare & bout with pancreatitis. My body was so weak from not being able to do anything. Literally, nothing. LOL. The muscle I had built from getting in a workout routine: GONE. C’mon muscle atrophy. Being in the beginning of most things are wild because it’s hard to slow down & really process since the emotions are running wild. This was one of the first days I had enough energy to walk around the woods & down to grandma’s with the kids. It didn’t even feel like it was under 10 degrees. And normally I’m the boring one that just watches everyone have fun & take pictures. But they insisted I got down, & Kenzie snapped this pic of me. I don’t have many of myself, but this is a good one. A moment that reminded me it’ll get better.January 2019© Keighlea MartinFlickr // Instagram -- source link
