A Day In The Life Of Me…
You have read my gastroparesis story and struggle (HERE), but for those of you that don’t keep up with my activities via Facebook posts, I wanted to take the opportunity to show you a snap shot of what 2 recent days were like for me:
- Taking new pictures of my store items to upload them on the Store tab on this website.
- Editing the pictures for the website and other social media pages.
- Answering questions for the T-Shirt For Gastroparesis Awareness and Research Fundraiser that runs until the end of May and helping those that are not in the USA obtain a shirt.
- Packaging up a couple orders to go out (GP Fight Store). After 1 of them was sealed with postage on it, I sent off the tracking number in an email. About 2 hours later I have a request to change the order, which luckily I was able to do as it was not dropped off at the Post Office yet.
- Finishing up a new logo for a GP Sister to use on her new website and snowballing other ideas for her.
- Helping a long time non-GP with setting up his new business website.
- Partnering up with a business to swap advertisement info. This will open up more exposure for GP Awareness! Go Me :) More info will be released later.
I know there are a lot of people out there that can only do about 1/4 of what my normal daily life is like with a chronic illness, that is if they are not running to the ER or are in the hospital. I count myself very fortunate that I am in a good place with my GP to allow me to do all of this -for all of you who can’t! However, there are weeks that I am only able to get out of bed and to the couch, but we all have to take the good with the bad.
Just because you might not be able to do things right now doesn’t mean that in the future you still can’t. A few years ago I didn’t think I would be able to do all of this -maybe in my dreams. So I will count myself lucky that I can do this, even if it’s not every day.
