Out of The Woods

[Joealt]

Some days, when I feel like i am just a member of The Losers Club struggling to get by, I think about getting out of The Woods and being free from this thing.

Joe, I was thinking along these lines - that we all seem to be in the same little bubble, and no one has the ability to burst in and let us out. I'm sure the answer must be out there xxx

Nope I am not stumbling about in a black wood. Nope I am not in a dark place looking for the way out. And I am not going there either. I refuse to. Call that stubborn, yep if you like. Call it naive, I dont know. Is it because I am not really in the grip of this illness yet...? Well I can tell you I tolerate a huge amount so no I dont subscribe to that. I won't trade my life for some kind of hell. Everyday I fight and fill up my joy. Everyday I wake up (haha I'm always awake) with opportunity, with chances with motivation. Am I an enigma? No I think not. I'm just determined. Am I foolish? I don't care I'm happy. Am I unrealistic? Oh bring it on I haven't started yet, you want a battle huh? Your going to get one. I've yet to roll my sleeves up. Strip my life put me in dark woods don't you dare, you'll get the sharpe end of my tongue and the rest. So my friend, do I need to come and get you and drag you out? Or are you beating a path. If you need light here I'm shinning. C

I agee with all the above comments. Some days it is trees, others a bubble, but like HH I fight. I am stronger than I ever thought I could be. I will NOT let it defeat me. I have too much to live for and too many people depend on me. I do not have any choice but to fight on - at the moment, though this could change.

Surely there must be light at the end of the tunnel. It is just a shame that we have to depend on others, who cannot know what it is like, to find it for us.

They are learning I tell them. I speak to pharma companies and they listen. In 4 years I have spoken to over 5000 scientists, researchers, top ranking personnel, and I don't pull punches.
