Here in the Philadelphia area, we face the issue of chemically contaminated water. This became public Sunday afternoon. All were advised to use bottled water for drinking and cooking.

Supposedly, initial testing shows the current water supply to be untainted, but to me, logic suggests that it’s only a matter of time before this changes and the water is no longer good for bathing either. This is what caused my anxiety. Would I be happy about this situation if I had a healthy body that wasn’t full of openings? No! But having HS under circumstances that would inhibit me from showering as I need to only makes this worse!

That’s where the empathetic ears and actions of my beautiful sisters comes in. I appreciated my sister, Leah, simply letting me know that she knew this situation was hard for me. My sister Lori gave me humor, allowing me to laugh at myself and the way I kick into survivor mode. She also very thoughtfully reached out to my cousin to check out of state for places that still had water in stock. That did a lot to calm me. I appreciate her, as well as him for getting it. Last but never least, my sister Lydia reached out and secured somewhere for me to stay out of the affected area if it came to that. Truly wonderful women in my corner 💞 Love them to the moon and back

I don’t know what this, or even the next situation will bring, but I know Jehovah will make sure I’m ok, as he did today 🙏🏽
