“Are you better yet?”

I’m here to answer everyone’s question. I wish I could say yes, but when you’ve been sick for over a decade healing doesn’t happen that fast.

I’ve been home from Germany and Klinik St for six weeks. The treatments I did there took a toll on my body and I’m still on a treatment regimen that will last another few months. The fight isn’t over yet. I believe I’m on the road to healing, but I feel anything but healthy… at least not yet.

Since being home I’ve spent most of my time in bed, and when I’m not resting I’m doing:

Weekly IV’s

Taking upwards of 30 pills a day

Weekly PT and rehab

and I have a list of doctors I’m following up with.

There’s still unanswered questions and more tests to be done, and there’s pieces of the puzzle we’re still missing. We aren’t giving up hope and we’re committed to finding answers. Wellness will come.

People keep asking me when I’ll get to live a normal life “again,” but the truth is I don’t even know what normal looks like. I’ve spent so many years in doctors offices, emergency rooms, and getting poked and prodded that being sick has become my normal. I’m excited for the day when I can discover a new normal and a life that consists of happiness and peace. I’m ready for it, but my body isn’t there yet.
