I'm just popping in for a minute since today is Chronic Disease Awareness Day. 🎗
I’ll admit, it’s not a day that I even knew about… until I recently did a quick Google search about it. I've been wanting there to be more awareness about endometriosis since it usually takes women so long to get diagnosed. I already know that March is Endometriosis Awareness Month... but I was a bit surprised when that was it. Then I found Chronic Disease Awareness Day and marked it on my calendar.
You don't often think about it... but there are a lot of people with chronic diseases. Many people in my life have diabetes. In fact, I don't think I ever finally finished that blog post... but Eliot was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes a few weeks before my Dad died. That summer we were going through a lot of medical stuff and then we lost him. I had actually started to write a post about Eliot's diagnosis... but then my world fell apart.
Now that I’m facing my own chronic disease, this particular day hits quite a bit closer to home. So today I just wanted to stop in to send some love out to all of the other chronic disease fighters with a shout out to my fellow Endometriosis Warriors. 💖
Sometimes, things really suck… but we’ve got this. 💛🎗🌻
