To go back to the original question: What is my future? I used to ask myself that question, especially in the first few months after receiving my PN diagnosis. In those months, I felt myself spiraling down. I was telling myself that now that I had PN, I had to find a "new" future. But I was wrong. The future I'd had before my diagnosis was STILL my future. What I needed to accept, however, was now that I had PN, I must be prepared to make little – and sometimes not so little – accommodations as PN-related challenges came along. My future hadn't changed. Only my belief in my future might change, and then only if I let it.
