All joking aside, at times
being in 'denial' slightly can be helpful with handling medical issues.
Go with me here…
Too much ice cream will make
you fat, but a little will make you happy, right? Simplicity, at its finest.
This is my theory, stay with
me please while I try and make my point, okay?
And so in order for that
statement above to have weight one must believe that harping on one’s ills is
detrimental to their health as well?
I’m not saying that you
shouldn’t go and take care of your health and when diagnosed do all that you
can to treat it with any and all methods and means available that are proven
and not harmful.
What I am trying to convey
here is that when we constantly talk about or receive emails or discuss daily
in groups that aim to ‘help’ we could be considered obsessive with our medical
issues, which, in my unbiased un-medical degreed opinion can be detrimental to
that person, meaning you; just a thought.
And this action does only
work with chronic disorders, not life and death medical conditions where every
minute counts!
Live your lives friends and
if possible do what I did once when I had hand surgery all those years ago, for
my left hand with basilar joint arthritis… when asked I told everyone that it
was an old football injury; considering I am a woman and they are still
weighing the prospect, even twelve years later than when I said that, i.e.
about allowing women in high school, college and the NFL to play, I truly
thought it was hilarious!
Canes can be a choice of
weaponry is this crazy world, scooters/motorized chairs could be, well let’s
just say, better modes of transportation with the topper, have you seen those
gas prices? Bud dump bum…
Wheelchairs can be; I took to making too many shorty marks on doorways so they took away my driver’s license even
when I tried to explain our latest grandchild is really short and wouldn’t
stand still for the markings? Bud dump bum…
AGAIN!
Listen, your own probably
would be more yours and that’s what all this should be, personal.
But when I tried a few times
to unsubscribe from once again another group, but email one, I realized that for
some it is just fine to constantly be bombarded with additional information and
to be a buddy to someone 'like you'… In reality there is NO ONE just like you or
me or anyone else… and to think that our experience would be beneficial to tell
when in reality all people want is to be heard that is their story is
presumptuous of us all. Oops that is what this blog was based on, ha!
Sure learning what’s new and
inventive and has legs to really make a dent in anything in life is wonderful,
but do any of these people know or realize that when that happens organizations
send it out in newsletters, the FDA and JAMA and like groups become national
news?
Yep, that has been my recent
nearly sixty-three year experience on this planet, just saying folks…
Sure it took me a while to
jump on this sometime, ‘denial wagon’ that many emotionally healthy people have
been pushing for, for years, but I would have none of it…
But lately my ills, which are
too many that have been all consuming and who, really needs strangers telling you
too all about what you live with daily, really?
Take my words with a grain of
salt or to heart or however you may take any ‘bitter pill to swallow’, for you
literalists, it’s an expression… in my case a truism that is not harping so much on what’s wrong with me, but what is
right with me, got it? You can do that to yourself, ask that question, what’s
so great about you?
I hope that this doesn’t
sound as if I went around in circles, but I didn’t mean to and from now on I
will try to be more in ‘denial’ only in the sense of amplifying the positive
and playing down the negative, okay?
Expressing one’s self
sometimes is not as easy as one may think, but I try, boy do I ever!
On that note of whatever you
take away from that, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very
happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all
your overages with you know who and we will too!
And next time please be here
or be square, ya hear!?
