When is it enough?
This question has often run through my head. Maybe it’s the question everyone living with chronic illness asks themselves at certain times. Which is to say, “What is a good life? What is a life worth living?”
For 40 years I’ve lived with Type 1 diabetes. There have been good years and bad years. Complications, some challenging, most manageable, built up over time. Then, four years ago I developed long COVID. Diabetes was plenty to manage. Long COVID’s neurological effects took living with disability to a whole other level. It was, at times, too much.
