My journey so far

Image
Dear gentle readers, I hope this blog finds you all well. I’m doing great, thank you. My quality of life has improved — I’m able to move and wake up every day with zero blisters. After two years, I’ve finally been off steroids for the last two months. I’ve been wearing nice clothes during my hospital reviews. I still have my bad days, but they don’t bother me anymore. My doctor, my well-wisher — specifically asked me to mention this, and I’m happily obligated to do so:                   “ I wore a nice dress today, and my doctor smiled at me." Yes , I wore a nice dress. I saw the smile reach his eyes, those fine lines creasing with warmth. The laughter filled the renovated room, adding the most beautiful touch to it.          YES !
