Derek says all of the time "everyone needs a cause". Anytime we see someone doing something ridiculous and overzealous, he jokingly says that (as if it gives them a good excuse for their behavior). But if you think about it it’s kind of true. Everyone in the world needs that feeling of having something they feel strongly about…religion, politics, charity, etc. Whatever it is…we as a people feel better when we "have a cause". So after 8 weeks now of being so sick and having life just STOP completely I feel like I need a cause. Literally, everything in my life is halted. I have no responsibilities at church, I don’t cook or clean around my house, I take care of my kids but minimally (as sad as that sounds). My entire existence has been about staying hydrated, being fed, making sure I get clean once a day. It’s the bare necessities, in it’s truest form. So here’s my new cause:
It’ll probably seem silly to most of you. But I feel strongly that after thousands of years of women having babies, we should not have to be made to feel desperate. We should have more answers to these problems. We should receive more help. We shouldn’t be told by a doctor that "the weight loss is unacceptable". No one should ever be told that when they’re suffering with this…EVER. Particularly by the one person that is supposed to be able to help.
So that’s my new cause.
p.s. Jacob had a successful tonsilectomy and adnoidectomy last Friday. He really suffered the first 3 days but has felt tons better today and has even stopped the pain meds. The first 5 minutes of him being home from the hospital he threw up all over the living room. And I was the only one to witness it! But we all got cleaned up and we both laid in bed the rest of the day.
