From the Editor's Computer
Well, since I wrote my last editorial, I
have learnt that I am showing steady (albeit very slow) improvement, and I
found out I was much worse than I ever thought or considered possible.
I was told in a follow-up appointment that 4
months ago, at my first appointment, on a scale of 1 - 10 (10 being worst), I
was 30+ and very close to death! I am
now at a 10, which is definite improvement, however I am still dangerously
sick. I’m just not facing imminent death
like I (unknowingly) was before.
It also seems I may have had this health
problem for my entire life. Not only was
it a shock to discover how seriously ill I was, it has also been a shock to
discover that even when I felt my healthiest, I was only about 10 - 15%
healthy! I guess I have never felt truly
healthy in my life.
Our bodies are quite amazing when you
consider how they keep going no matter how bad they are, or how much we may
abuse them. Your organs and systems will
continue to work to keep you alive even if conditions are such that they are
only operating at 10% capacity.
So, I am now facing an even longer road
ahead of me as I journey towards total health, but instead of retracing my
steps along a familiar route, it seems I am venturing onto a path I’ve never
been on before.
As I move forward into this great unknown
territory, I am discovering (slowly)
that life isn’t really as hard or challenging as we tend to perceive it to be,
or make it. Life is really easy...if we
choose to let it be.
