Looking back on my life thus far, I think anyone including myself would say I’m competitive, in everything, be it playing a game of cards, watching or playing a sport, my business life or anything. In the last 10 or 15 years I’ve tempered that down in my social life especially in personal relationships as that probably wasn’t helpful in maintaining a healthy connection.
But I really don’t like to be beaten in anything, I accept that someone else may have done things better. Now instead of being upset by it I have tried to learn from my mistake and be better next time.
So when I was diagnosed with this hideous disease in February 2004, yes I was shocked and I’m not embarrassed to say a bit frightened. Talking to a “matter of fact straight talking” New York neurologist who told me that it was a life threatening incurable disease was scary to say the least. But as I’ve said my competitive nature forces me to not give a crap about what the experts say.. Experts… Hah.. an Ex is a Has been and a Spurt is drip under pressure.
Yes I’m sick, yes I struggle everyday, yes there are days I slip and fall and have to lay where I’ve fallen for an hour or more but….I refuse to let this thing beat me…
I’m Stefan…I’m from Liverpool, a scouser and my mum is from Berlin, am I going to give up, I’m I going to be beaten….NAH…
