Health Activist Writer’s Month Challenge Day #27

5 Challenges. 5 Small Victories. Make a list of the 5 most difficult parts of your health focus. Make
another top 5 list for the little, good things (small victories) that keep you going.

Most difficult parts of having EDS:
1.  Being stuck home all the time.
2.  People making stupid comments like "I wish I could stay at home all day!"  Do you wish you were disabled, too?
3.  The uncertainty of when a joint will do something nasty.
4.  The incredible, unrelenting pain.
5.  The bone-weary fatigue.



Good things that keep me going:
1.  I've never had a cavity.
2.  My cats. Enough said.
3.  I have a shiny red walker that just screams "cool!"
4.  I'm learning to do more crafts and doing more of what I already know.
5.  My pink teddy bear, Eliza, that DH got me for our first Valentine's Day together.

Eliza, my teddy bear from DH
