It’s crazy how when you’re going through something… especially something painful… you can get so caught up in what you’re going through that you forget what life was like before the painful situation…
I was sick for about two weeks, and this is how it felt the last week of me being sick (which is the reason there wasn’t a blog post last week)…
I slept so much, barely ate, and I was in so much pain; but that part of the sickness only lasted about 6-7 days…
Yet while I was in the thick of it, I remember this night where I was thinking about the fact that I couldn’t remember what it was like to feel normal…
Let’s think about that for a second…
I had only been sick for maybe 10 days at that point, and only 3-4 of those days were extremely uncomfortable…
Yet somehow 3-4 days of extreme discomfort had completely erased all knowledge of what life was like as a normal, healthy woman…
How is that even possible?
And though I kept telling myself that the sickness would pass at some point, there was another night where I began to believe that I would never feel better…
This was not my first time being sick… and this was not my first time being THIS sick (I get sick like this about once per year)…
So why was I trying to convince myself that my body has suddenly lost the ability to heal itself…
The mind can be such an interesting place when you’re going through something painful…
