Today was one of those up-and-down days the kind that takes you on a ride you didn’t ask to be on. There were good moments, and there were tough ones, but I had to push through and take it all as it came. Some days, that’s the only choice we have.
What made today even more of a whirlwind was learning some new information that might and I’m saying just might give me some insight into the cause of my pancreatitis. After all these years of being told there’s no known reason, hearing even the possibility of an answer stirred up a lot of emotions.
It wasn’t caused by me I’ve always known that, but hearing something that could provide clarity after all this time brings a mix of relief, frustration, and uncertainty. Of course, I’ll need to talk to my doctors and see what they think, but right now, my mind is spinning with all the possibilities.
For now, I’m holding onto the fact that every piece of information, no matter how small, brings me closer to understanding my body. And even on the hardest days, knowledge is power.
One step at a time. One answer at a time.
With love,
Trish
