Things I've noticed.

One of the things I've noticed about me is the fact that I make these promises to............  I'm not sure who I'm making them to actually.  I guess myself, the powers around me, God, the dogs, who knows.  I usually don't make them out loud (I am doing that more lately,though).  I guess the reason this has come up for me is that I walked over and emptied the coffee grounds from our coffee this morning.  Now that's not like saving the world or being cured of a rare deadly disease, but a several months ago I was having trouble walking around.  That was due to the surgery I had to have a second time.  Anyway, my promise (to whomever) was that I would appreciate just being able to do things again without having to hurt all of the time.  I try to keep this in mind as much as possible but I'm only human.  Good excuse?  My best friend and the person I feel closer to then my own family, just wrote the most beautiful, entertaining, funny, explanation of what she goes through what it's like (for her) to have Lupus.  It is by far one of the best explanations of having an illness with no cure, that I have ever read.  I actually think she should send it off to some of the magazines or TV talk shows like Oprah or Dr. Oz.  One of those.  I wonder how she would feel if I just did it.  I guess I should really ask her first.  I think it would be something she might like to tell the world about because it would be a great segway into the one of the problems with health care.  Hmmmmmmmm.  It's a thought.
