Time Heals All Wounds (That’s What They Say)

There are many things the title of this post could apply to, but sometimes, no matter how much time you give something, it will never heal. It may lessen or slow down, but it will never go away. As an example, people with any type of IBD (colitis, Crohn’s, etc.) will never be rid of it. They may go into remission, but that’s it. It will always be there, just in what capacity. We struggle every day to make the right decisions to keep ourselves in this state of “winning,” but we struggle with the side effects every day.

After my surgery I am in remission, but I struggle with my blood work: low iron, low hemoglobin, high platelets. They say the main problem is handled right now, but I have to deal with the side effects. There are tons of doctor appointments and blood work just to see the numbers barely move.

Every day we struggle without others noticing. People with these hidden diseases fight every day without anyone noticing. I tell you all, keep up the fight and do not let it get the better of you. Time is not on your side, but everyone else in the same boat as you is on your side. Time will never heal this wound, but we can all work together as a community and keep each other going.

Keep up the good fight no matter what!
