'Ahh..hhhahha that's fucking baltic, ahem...a little bit chilly' My butt, thighs and lower back land on the x-ray plate and I jump a good two feet. 'Ms Stubbs try and stay as still as you can please, this won't take long'
Ah, yes - trying to keep the doctors focused. It’s a full-time job. Don’t get me wrong, I will defend the NHS to my last breath, but you do have to keep prodding them….
Thanks for your post. Oh my dear....l am sorry to read of your trials and tribulations! What a lot of shit you get shovelled onto your plate. 😟 Actually we could get together and compare notes because l have quite a lot going on too, in the major shit department. I was in car crash aged 17...numerous operations, wheelchair bound twice, 2 knee replacements...etc and so forth. And it got me down at times, but generally l got on with life...studied, got great job at Amsterdam university as teacher-trainer (where l still do a few hours on line). But now parkinson's has really beaten the stuffing out of me...l find it so hard to deal with the symptoms, especially that it affects my gait. I often can hardly stand up or walk. That's so hard to take. Especially for a manic doer like me...like l used to be...like l was. I used to do 10 things at once and loved being active! But that's all past tense now.
I keep telling myself FOCUS ON THE POSITIVES! Wonderful husband, two beautiful kids, good friends, etc, etc. I've got lots to be grateful for..and l am grateful....it's just so bloody hard sometimes. Life is so, so hard now. I actually feel a bit guilty even admitting this...look at Ukraine! Oh my god...l think l'm having a hard time look at people there! But still....
Well this has helped me to write this down. I'm having a weepy evening so this has helped me focus. Thank you again for your input! You really make a difference, you know. We love you on Twitter and elsewhere! Sending positive vibes (if I can find em) ....sending love ❤️ Sarah
