Today I worked in my garden, the winter sun shining, my puppy digging my plants up as fast as I planted them........ I got thinking about all the positives that have come out of having a progressive neurological disorder. I work with MS patients, I always thought I was empathetic and understanding, but until I developed a neurological condition of my own, I realised that I never really did understand.
Now when I document their fatigue, I really feel it, when they talk about their fear, I feel it. It has made me such a better nurse. On a level I could never have attained before.
Today I felt joy that I may be able to make a real difference in other peoples life. The local MND feild officer position is coming up and I have decided to apply for the job. While I am able I must make a difference, then my life will mean something.
Take heart when you a scared and frightened, you are seeing the world in a pure form that you were not able to see before.
I think this has made my husband a better neurologist. he now comes home from work and the reality of what he tells people everyday, is stareing him in the face.
So look at what may have changed for the better.
Thanks for letting me unload. I just felt so much JOY
