Would cancer be easier ?

[Guest guest]

I had a really nasty day yesterday. Delayed reaction from a stressful

week, my six year old broke his thumb and needed a cast. Our first

" break " as parents so it was difficult to navigate. His twin brother

was upset that he did not have a cool blue cast on his arm as well.

Anyway.... I had lots of pain, swelling, dizziness, fever, and

general feeling of blah. I was thinking about how this disease messes

with us so much psychologically. I was fine for the most part last

week, some pain in my ankle but able to manage. Then boom! A normal

parenting situation throws my entire body out of wack. Somedays it

seems to me that something like cancer would be easier to handle, you

get the diagnosis, you have treatment and you either get better or

you pass away. None of this feel great for 15 years and then crappy

for three and then good for a week and down for two... it's very

draining both physically and psychologically. Never knowing what you

will wake up to in the morning. It just stinks.

So that's my commentary for the day, hoping for better luck today

than yesterday.

Everyone take care,

Sam
