Missing Out

Sometimes I feel like I'm totally missing out on normal life. I'm supposed to leave in a few hours to go to California with my family. Melissa & Brad are having their Open House there tomorrow. My bags are all packed. I woke up an hour ago in excruciating pain. My stomach is KILLING me...I can hardly move. I am trying to distract myself any way that I can. I have a feeling I'm not going to be able to go on the trip. I know I'm just feeling sorry for myself, but this really sucks. I HATE it.
P.S.-Update: In trying to distract myself, I read some of my archived posts. My health used to be so much worse than it is now. I'm just lucky I've been able to do as much as I have these last few months. Looking at how far I've come (even though I still have big temporary setbacks) helps put life in perspective for me.
