I don't feel elite "because I have CH" but I do feel very elite in the fact that I have experienced a pain reserved for a very few AND I have survived it! I think this puts me in a VERY elite group. A group that I refuse to let other people enter unless they've paid the dues. Surviving CH is to worn as a badge of honor. Only the strong survive!!
Run down to the local Surplus store and buy yourself a Purple Heart medal and wear it to your local veterans club. Tell 'em you weren't really wounded, you just want to be part of the club. See how it goes over.
CH is elite! CH survivers are strong and should be proud that they were strong enough to take the best the bastard had to dish out and they're still here to talk about it.
I'm not happy to have CH but I'm proud I'm here to talk about it.
