Chronic Illnesses

Hope

Rheumatoid arthritis-

Tonight as I rock you to sleep I wonder how much longer will I be able to do this? I’m only 28 but my body feels like it is 80. Four surgeries, unknown amounts of steroid shots, joints drained of extra fluid, and multiple rounds of intravenous medication in the hospitals. I pray to God that this disease doesn’t run through your body, although RA runs on both sides of your family. It hurts my heart to know there is a chance you might get this in the future.
