There are some things in life that are worth the time or worth something in our lives. Having arthritis means there is pain and when you don’t have that pain live it up like there’s no tomorrow.
The last time I had absolutely no pain was November last year. I was still at school and there was this lunch time sport competition. I decided I’ll give it a go, it being basketball. So anyways, my house leader picked me to go off because I was trying so hard for our team, but when I was off, I realized I had absolutely no pain, so begged the teacher to let me back on. I didn’t want to miss my chance of playing sport because I hadn’t played anything in at least 5 years, I was missing it! When the game was over, everyone was asking why I was so keen at going back on, and so I told them the truth. Why was I going to miss an opportunity of having fun, cause who knows when my pain is going to come back and how long it would be until I was again pain free.
Two days later my pain was back, but I didn’t care because I had some fun while my pain was on holiday. I always try to make the best of what I have and it is one of the most important parts of managing arthritis because you need to stay strong and positive.
