My family has been great about my mental and medical issues. They understand because it runs in our family. They are used to me being here for them and I always will be. I am worried though how they will take things in the next few years. I have been in denial about it but have come to accept it because I refuse to give up. The fact is that for me to have an active life and travel like I want, I will have to do it from a wheelchair. I have arthritis in my back. The doctors discovered it when I was fifteen and it is getting worse. I am tired of living in pain and limiting myself. I am determined to do what I want to do even if it is from a wheelchair. I just refuse to give up. I want my family to be okay with it. I needed to get that out of my system.
