I Want to Be Positive About Life
Positivity is the best asset we have, for dealing with life. A positive approach can let you win, or at least survive, if not prosper.
I lost my eyesight age 17 in a road traffic accident. That also gave me my first brain hemoridge.
A year after being in a coma from that, I returned to my studied, having learnt Braille, and how to touch type and use computers (this was back in the early 1990s). After A-levels, I went off to university, learned to live a normal life, learnt how to cook, wash, clean, do all the useual things, I guess I just ha dto learn how to do them differently as I was blind. I had a very full social life, as a university student, dated all round the campus, and was out most nights partying, drinking late, plus playing music in bands.
After that, I'd enjoyed the studying so much, I carried on, and got my Masters degree, and by that time had bought my first house, and then got work, post university.
My health did well, until just a few years back; 2015 I got diagnosed with cancer, and had my second brain hemoridge.
Just as I started chemotherapy for the cancer, I got diagnosed with a rare condition, panhypopituitaritism; basically my body stopped making pretty much all the hormones; testosterone, cortisol, thyroid, growth hormone, and some others,
Dealing with cancer, and then the hormone problems at the same time was tough; but I knew I'd survive; I'm a surviver.
I was in remission by the end of 2015, but still dealing with the after effects of the chemotherapy and radiotherapy; I lost a lot of my sense of touch due to the drugs, and was still having to fight with the Drs to get my hormones sorted.
I put on so much weight; due to all the steroids; about 60 Lb (about 4 stone or so).
I gradually got a bit fitter again, as the hormones got a little sorted.
So, I restricted my diet, and joined the gym. now I've lost 40 Lb, and am still loosing; fitter than I have been since my 20s, thanks to the gym.
ThenI got diagnosed with ostioporosis, fractured spine, and an aorta anneurysm; still not entirely sure why i got these, could be side efects of treatment....
So what.
I'm strong willed, and positive; positive I'll only improve, and therefore I will; I'm getting stronger and fitter every week from the gym; and feeling healthier because of that; and, now wearing clothes I never throught I'd get back into.
Be positive, life is for living, no matter what obsticles it throws in your path; every one is just a new challange, to tackle, beat, and distroy.
and; to think; I almost killed myself back when things were at their worse with the cancer diagnosis and suchlike; then I remembered; I'm a fighter, and no way was I giving in.
