To be well

A cure

It is my first thought to want to go all philosophical on a question like this....but my heart wins out on this one.

My hope is that very soon, before my grandchildren may have to face this scourge...that there will be a cure, a vaccine to help protect our precious young ones from ever, ever getting this hideous illness. I can live with it. I don't think I could watch my grandchildren suffer through it. Nope. I couldn't!

Thanks everyone! I was in the lowest place when I wrote this last night. This morning I forgot I even did, and saw this, and thought, well that's weird. :) My hope is to be well one day too. It's hard to even imagine what that would be like. I see people that have great health and I think, do they know what they have? But I am thankful for what all I've learned through this illness. Maybe that should be another post.
Darla, I get scared to death sometimes that my daughter has this. She's still so young, but she is already showing signs. I know it can pass on through pregnancy. I hope and pray she will be alright. I couldn't bear to watch her go through this. It's one thing for me to suffer, but for her too, would be too much. I'm hoping for a cure too.

I just hope to feel well most of the time.

If I don't push myself, get enough to eat, and have positive interactions with people I will often feel good for most of the day.

That doesn't mean I'm running around the block or anything. It usually means I remember to stand up slowly, spend most of the day sitting and relaxing, and no one is saying negative things about what I can't do anymore.

To step out of this illness and feel the full life force surging through my body. To feel the joy of that.

Definitely to be be well!

short-term: to wake up for just one day feeling refreshed and rested

long-term: a cure that works for everyone

To be "Healthy Vicki" again. To take my dogs for a walk. To volunteer at the hospital. To walk two miles like I used to.

If I am healthy again, I can do so many things.

I pray for a cure not only for myself but for my children and grand children. It's bad enough we have to live like this but it's the younger ones that my heart breaks for. I thank God that I was good up until the age of 53-54. Pray for a cure!

I don't think I'll see a cure in my lifetime, but what I hope is that one day all people with chronic illnesses will be treated with simple human decency.

It's wrong to persecute people because they are ill. And since we can't fight back, it's cowardly as well.

To be well, to help others. To be positive and a good influence. To be as healthy as I can. To not worry so much.

I hope to be well one day; to heal my adrenal glands and the multifaceted breakdown of my body; to be able to eat a healthy diet and digest food; to be able to jog down the street; to be married to the man I love; to have sex; to travel; to be able to take care of and spend time with my 9 yr old daughter; to get her a puppy; to not be allergic to animals; to take her to Chuck E Cheese, like I promised; to live; to love; to laugh; to learn; to sing; to dance; to be me; I am beautiful. To be healthy and free. To be. Me.

To stay alive and not suffer and have joy and happiness and peace. To be free. For all to be healthy and happy and love and be free.

I want to be well, but since that isn't happening, then my hope is to have a family. I want to be married and have children - even if they are step children or adopted children. I don't want to be alone.
