sick of the sickies

The body is an amazing piece of machinery. I mean really it's quite remarkable how much the human body can endure my own husband survived a crash at 14 years, old flipped out of a pickup truck bed smashed his head on the pavement at least going 50 miles per hour. Sure his body had some set backs but he recovered over time, minus a few aches and pains that creep up but hey his body lived. We see the our bodies preform heroic acts of strength all the time just turn on any major sports event on the tv to watch the body working like crazy and performing so well. Pregnancy, yup that's a big one where all the tiniest of details work together flawlessly for in the end a plump cuddly newborn in just a mere 40 week time span ( I know how ready we all are at 40 weeks but I mean really 40 weeks!).
But don't go getting all full of yourself body. I have quite the bone to pick with you. What is up in the being sick department? I mean seriously I can grow a perfect human but my body fighting of the flu feels like it's taking a no holds bar kill or be killed assult that quite frankly in not only brutel but relentless. Is this is human body task that just forgot about all the heroism it goes through ALL the time and said screw it just kill, kill, kill, no questions asked. Am I jaded right now? You betcha 5 of us battling for our normal life since last Sat and still little to no improvement wears even me out, one tough cookie that would like to think I could have been an amazing pioneer mama!. Yikes this is huge a mean there are 52 weeks a year and I have just lost one whole week and 3 days worth of living.
What I really need to understand is exceptance I guess. I can't control this. How many other things do I feel I have power over but yet just a real false picture of untruth in my mind. If I could except this as a regular part of the human growth process would I heal faster? Would I come to a place where my body could release the illness because I have submitted? Well I'm tired I think I'll lay down again and ponder that some more. . .
