“Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you‘re gonna get,” Forrest Gump quoted what his momma always said.

How true! Tomorrow is a new day and no one knows, exactly, what will happen next. What we are gonna get in life next.

One day I woke up and realize;

  • I eat six meals a day, still am hungry, and still lost 15 lbs.
  • My heart beat is like the drum tempo; boom, boom, booom, booom!
  • My breathing is shallow and raspy.
  • I perspire as if there’s a leak in my skin.
  • I am heat-sensitive and need the air-con & the fan running at the same time to cool down.
  • The pain and aches become chronic, and it’s now there all the time.

The next I know, I am subject to tests and scans, and more tests and scans.

‘It’s a bladder inflammation’, so said the expert.

‘Would a bladder inflammation cause me to lose weight?,‘ I asked. ‘Yes,‘ said the expert, ‘because of loss of appetite.’ ‘But I have a good appetite, I am always hungry,’ I said. ‘Oh..,’ the expert’s lips formed an O in response.

‘Should I be tested on thyroid function?,’ I then asked. ‘Yes, let’s get you tested on that,’ the expert agreed.

I took a bite of the piece of chocolate and I found out what’s inside. Things became clear for me, my autoimmune has gone cuckoo. Resulting in the over production of hormones which caused increased metabolic activity in my body!

I don’t know when is my next bite into another piece of chocolate. Meanwhile, we should not take for granted it will be all sweet and good inside. For the next piece of chocolate, may be full of worms, yucks!

That’s why I need God in my life. He’s the creator and planner.. He knows what’s inside the next piece of chocolate I bite into.
