Lesson learned….
I’ve several good things to say and one of them is that although I had a tough, albeit self inflicted day a couple of days ago, I’m all good now, ass firmly kicked and wrist slapped and more importantly, the message has penetrated this thick skull of mine….Lesson learned!!!!
So, more good…. it probably doesn’t seem good to read initially that my eyes were aching when reading or writing, true it didn’t seem good until I discovered the reason behind it… I only use glasses when I’m trying to read small print so because of the ache I didn’t put them on and realised that my vision has improved, over the past few days I’ve only been wearing them occasionally.
Next… I’m having to consciously stop myself from trying to move around without taking the necessary precautions…. As in firmly holding the handrails before taking a step, I’ve twice almost tripped over myself but luckily didn’t… I know I’m improving in the hundreds of daily movements I make, little things like adjusting my sitting or lying position in bed, manipulating the supplement bottles and those tiny tablets. I have accepted that I’m moving forward but I’ve so much further to go, the pain and frustration that was a major part of my daily life has been replaced by optimism and anticipation.
The sad thing about getting better is the annoying feeling and frustration of not being able to get this message into the “set in their ways” minds of others that so desperately need this… this is real, the only thing incurable about multiple sclerosis is their minds… a favourite phrase of mine….
The mind is like a parachute… it doesn’t work unless it’s open.
