I never thought I’d be a person who regretted her health, who is pursued by pain, who wished for something better from her body, from the quality of her days.
For years, family and friends have assured me it will get better, but now I’m growing older and I’m losing the vitality that helps me overcome my afflictions. Is to suffer so much what it is to be human? If so, I regret that, too. I hoped it could also mean feeling well, here and there, alive with freedom of one sort or another and grateful for it.

I know. I’ve been sick for years with Crohn’s Disease. You think it’s better then bam — sick again. It’s hard to feel good about life when you feel so bad physically.
