I had a new patient this week. Actually, not an IC patient, but a child of an IC patient. That patient quit their job bc of debilitating symptoms that made it impossible to fly for work regularly. This patient is brand new. On the opposite side of the spectrum, I have a patient that has been in treatment for I think one year now, and this person just accepted a job in a foreign country that will mandate monthly air travel and a whole new set of environmental and cultural challenges, and this person felt up to the task. This would not have been possible on year ago. The contrast between these two individuals, espcially coming in the same week illustrates the contrast of finding the path and the change that comes with the journey along it. I look forward to helping the first person find the road to wellness and to helping the second continue to find all of the flowers that are only beginning to line hers!
