When You Develop a Chronic Illness

I never in a million years thought I would develop a chronic illness. I used to coordinate in-home services for people with physical disabilities and I knew life could change in the blink of an eye, but I never thought it would happen to me.

There was no chronic illness that ran in my family except colon cancer. I have been vigilant about getting tested since a young age and always assumed if I did develop polyps it would be caught early.

In some ways, I took my health for granted. I assumed nothing could happen to me.

Life with a chronic illness has changed me. I cherish my good days. I don't take anything for granted anymore. I embrace the moments that bring me joy.

Life happens. Don't take a single moment for granted.
