This week a particularly nasty stomach bug has infiltrated
our home. I will spare you the
details, but it has not been a pleasant experience. I spent most of yesterday trying to summon the energy to get
out of bed, which I managed to do a couple of times, immediately regretting
the decision each time.
The illness that I am experiencing this week is annoying but
not life-threatening.
Unfortunately, not all illness is so easily recovered from, and some
diseases have no recovery.
While we are healthy we don’t think about sickness. We sometimes pause to reflect on our
wellness when we see others suffer, but for the most part sickness seems alien
to us. Something is wrong. We know it happens, and it could happen
to us, but when it strikes, it seems so unfair.
