Just like in the movie, today we’re doing a swap. If you could switch chronic diseases, which one would you choose to deal with instead of diabetes?
This is will be a relatively short post as there isn't another disease I would rather have my son deal other than diabetes because whoever said the grass is always greener on other side is crazy. I don't know about you but I know for a fact that that isn't true.
To the general public when they see Landon, they see your typical 3 year old boy. He doesn’t look sickly, he rides his four wheeler, he can even eat a candy bar. But what most people don’t know is how much “planning” goes into him eating that candy bar. They don’t know of his daily pricks and pokes. People don’t know that under Landon’s shirt is an insulin pump that is constantly giving him medicine. So I say all that to say is that I don’t know the true day to day struggles that people with other chronic illnesses experience. But I have to believe whether you have diabetes, sickle cell, or lupus, the struggles and pains are all the same.
