Holidays.

Snow made this Christmas the best yet, make that second best.  The year I got engaged is the best Christmas.  I spent a lot of my time off coming to terms with my disease. I have to live with it, so I try to stay as positive as possible.  I still can't believe I didn't go to work for six weeks.  I gave myself that time to heal, hoping that it would be the same as all the flares of years past.  I was wrong.  Now I have to move on and know that I can do as much as I can do, but not nearly as much as I used to.  I do in fact have to live with it for the rest of my life and it has already changed me, physically and emotionally.
