If they only knew

[akia]

Lately I can't help but think to myself, I wish some of these people around me knew how lucky they are. To be able to get up every day without the first thought in your head be 'is it a good day? do I feel a flare up coming on?' To be able to go out to the bar and drink what you want, smoke what you want and eat what you want and not have to worry about how its going to make you feel. I wish some more men realized how lucky they were to be able to plan outings like a movie, a play, a concert, a whatever and not have to worry about wether its going to be a good day. It just goes to show that the old saying is true 'ignorance is bliss'

I'd like my old life back. But, on a positive this whole episode in my life has changed me deep down to the core. I have changed my life dramaticly and became 100x healthier in every way I can. I'm in the best physical fitness shape of my life. With just one minor prostate problem. If only it could have been something else that was the motivation.

I look forward to the day when I can lead a normal life again.

My thoughts exactly, Akia. I'm 19 years old, and man, what I would give to just be like I was before this. I wouldn't complain about anything for the rest of my life if I could just get back to the way I was. Seems like a million years ago...
