I was diagnosed with both heart and gastric disease at 17.
My entire youth was ripped away from me, most days spent alone in hospital or bed ridden at home.
I could barely eat or move and even dropped as low as 39kg.
My daily existence required all of my energy just to survive.
I'm 26 now and have had about every, test, procedure and operation you can think of.
I've drank both radioactive milk and a full cup of pure concentrated urea. (Yes that is a cup of piss)
And while I'd love to say everything is better now, my days are definitely still difficult.
After an operation and life long medication my heart disease is mostly gone, and if I can tank throwing up every now and then my stomach is also doing a lot better.
But if there's one lesson I've learnt, is that if you're always waiting for every variable to be perfect before you start to "live" your life, your existence will pass you by.
I still have daily struggles, but for the most part I'm a far cry from my 17 year old self who didn't even think I'd make it this far.
For the first time in 9 years I'm healthy enough that I can finally say I'm no longer just surviving.
I'm actually starting to "live."
And for that I'm grateful enough that I wanted to share.
Love y'all.
