Medicine and the Chronic Illness Life

Sarah Ramey put words to my experiences even better than I can. This truly has been my handbook since it was suggested to me a few months ago. I’m about to start my re-read. If you look closely, you can see some Sarah in this site.

I see myself in each of these stories. We are all trying to play the same part when we have been dealt a bad hand. The world wants us to be fine and we want the same but those pesky health issues never allow life to be that simple.

We all know that medicine is messed up. But to hear a woman who is working in and a recipient of the system to say that it’s messed up then give us a history lesson to prove it, yeah, that’s so much worse than I thought it’d be.

All roads lead to uteruses. Isn’t that the bane of many of our existences? What if, we truly did, ask people about their uteruses? I’m sure we’d learn a lot–about uteruses and ourselves.
Faith and Illness

The problem isn’t us; it’s the way the world was built without giving us a second thought. Sadly, the church was built this way too. And it’s a lot easier to pray for disability to be fixed rather than the world.
