Living with a long term chronic illness,
(and I live with two!) really pushes one to the limit and I find my husband and
I are on a constant learning curve as both diseases progress. How can anyone
prepare you for what lays ahead? The only thing one can predict, is the
unpredictability of both diseases.
Just when we think we understand and
change our mind-set to accommodate lifestyle changes, something new happens and
throws a spanner in the works. Being flexible to an altering situation that
effects one’s daily life is imperative. Unusual circumstances can present
difficulties that you hadn’t even thought about. It can be something as simple
as brushing your hair.
I keep my hair long, as this way I can
neatly tie it back and don’t have the worry and inconvenience of visiting the
hairdresser every six weeks or so. I recently realised I’m unable to brush my
hair properly, and with a full thick head of long hair, if not brushed
thoroughly, I could end up looking like I’ve been pulled through a hedge
backwards! Not a good look for anyone! So it was off to the hairdresser this
week to have a new shorter manageable hairstyle. Life is all about changes and going
with the flow.
