I'm a member of the most amazing online support group. The members have literally picked me up from the darkest depths of despair, through tests, diagnosis', hospital admissions and operations. They have also been there in joyous times and provided much laughter. A fabulous part of being a member of this group is the ability to meet up with fellow members. People that understand, "get me" and don't stare at the sheer wonkiness of wheelchairs, crutches, walking sticks, special cutlery and splinted joints. Today was one such day.
When Wonkies meet there will be gentle hugs of epic proportions. Laughter where tears of happiness not pain roll down our cheeks from our eyes, a complete understanding of the challenges faced by a body fighting RA. No judging or staring. Together we are normal, Wonky Normal.
Thank you once again to the Wonkies for love, kindness, support, understanding and laughter.
Every person battling or caring for someone with an invisible illness like Rheumatoid Arthritis needs to find an amazing support group you'll find friends for life that become family.
