Moving Forward

I didn't realize that I had taken the next step and had made a big statement in this unexpected journey with my illness until someone pointed it out to me. It was there sitting on my wrist all along. It says that this is a part of who I am. It is my new medical alert bracelet that says on the front: Dysautonomia, POTS, Tachycardia, Give Saline. And on the back it says: my full name and birth date. I was just talking to him and he pointed at my bracelet and he is like, "Whats that?" I am said,  "it is my new medical alert bracelet, I still don't know what it means." Then that is when he told me how it is a good thing and it is a big statement that I am making. And I am said, "yeah, it makes me feel safe. Especially when the other day I thought I was going to keel over (black out) in class." He said, "You will just have to shake your wrist in class." Ha. It is great how people can find the humor in almost anything. Now that I have taken one step forward, I am a little curious to see what the next step will be.
