Last Wednesday, I parted ways with a dear acquaintance. We'd known each other for quite sometime, and had been through 'some stuff' together. However, like many relationships, it was time for this one to end. Each party has to support the other, and where I was well supported, in turn, I did not reciprocate and was neglectful.
I really did want to maintain what we had, but failed to truly do my part. Yes, I could have done more and probably should have, yet knowing our deep connection was soon to be broken, the distance I created was more intentional, than not. Likely it was denial, and I was protecting myself from the anxiety about going our separate ways.
Catheter #5...I thank you for being such a key part of my life, much as those before you. In my mind, you and I parted on very good terms, and it truly is with mixed emotion, that I say "buh-bye"
Yep, alls still good here! Its been 3 months since the last pheresis. Amen!

Smile because you can!
Life is such an amazing adventure! One day you're cruising along with certain expectations, a planned route, and plenty of gas in the tank. The next, you're not sure where you are on the map and your compass fell beind that comfy seat you were in.
Smile because you can!
About Me
- Rachel
- Austin, TX
- My name is Rachel, and I have a neuromuscular disease called Myasthenia Gravis. This crazy condition was bestowed upon me in late 2008, and has the ability to render your body weak and sometimes useless unless proper treatments are administered. I've learned so much, and I feel blessed I am able to share. I'm nervous to write, but have learned that I should. Maybe you'll take something away from my nonsense.
