I was fortunate enough to have an enjoyable weekend away with my sisters. Despite all we’re contending with in our individual lives, we were able to keep to what has become our yearly tradition.🥰🥰

It was very satisfying to have some uninterrupted time to talk, enjoy some meals together, thrift shop and watch movies. I stand by the truth that not much is needed when you’re with the people that matter most!

This getaway was special for me, because it was my first getaway in many years, not being weighed down with the burdens of pre-humira HS.❣️❣️🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾While obviously not perfect, there was definitely a notable difference in my comfort level and stamina.

In years past, my sister Lori typically would quickly disinfect whatever room I stayed in, make my bed and set it up with my underpads etc. This time around, I was able to help disinfect, wipe down my room as well as the other rooms in the house, without feeling exhausted. I’m very thankful!

I really had a moment of reflection when it was time to pack up and leave. I packed up my things and took them out to the car, but as a welcome change, I was also able to load some of my sister’s items as well! This made my heart smile.🥰🤗🤗

I’m proud to say, that though living came/has come to look different for me because of HS, even at the worst of it, I’ve striven to preserve as much quality of life as possible and I plan to continue in that vein.🙏🏾🙏🏾
