20d ago28:42

28:42

A few weeks ago, my husband ended up in hospital with a suspected stroke.After numerous tests, including an MRI angiogram, a stroke was ruled out, but he was told he had short-term memory loss and “wear and tear ” showing on the MRA.I could have told them that, so I wasn’t particularly happy with the outcome.Once I was able to view the actual MRA r…

As a patient advocate, I am often called, inspiring, motivating, and full of strength despite my adversities.While I want to be all those things in order to reach others and help them through their own inspiring, motivating, and incredible chronic illness journeys, the truth is most days I am just treading water.I feel every inch of my daily pain. …

Learning to Reclaim "Me" 15:11

6M ago15:11

15:11

I’ve never been one for focusing on “me.” I’ve always naturally put everyone in my life first, including family, friends, church, volunteering, and work.I realised this week that I’ve even been doing this from a medical perspective, especially since being diagnosed with complex chronic, often acute, illness.I was chatting to my occupational therapi…

My husband and I have been married for almost 28 years, and during that time, he’s slept on the right side of the bed, and I’ve slept on the left.It’s 5am, and I’m not in bed. Although I’m so exhausted from an over busy week and I need to be there. I need to be comfortable, secure, and free from an elbow bent in such a way that it’s like a bow wait…

My "Troll" Story 19:51

7M ago19:51

19:51

MY "TROLL" STORY: I experienced some "trolling" this week. My first ever which was a bit of a miracle, given that my patient advocacy work is public. It's never nice is it but it was a good reminder to focus on the beauty in our lives, be truthful to ourselves and with others, and those "trolls" just won't have the power or impact they seek to have…

16:53

Sometimes, life with chronic illness can be overwhelming. It’s not always because of your disease either.It’s often all the appointments, including doctors, allied health professionals, equipment trials, dealing with government departments, routine tests and procedures, etc. It can become a full-time job.

The Real Picture When I Say I'm Good 19:10

9M ago19:10

19:10

Chronic Illness is difficult enough without us making it more complicated. Yet, my inbuilt professional persona began to surface as I looked at the phone next to me on the bed. It was inevitable.

What Day Is It? Does It Matter If Every Day Feels Like Sunday When You Live With Chronic Illness? 25:54

11M ago25:54

25:54

I’ve decided one of the hardest things about being medically retired is working out what day of the week it is!I have always loved Sundays. In our home it’s usually a quiet and reflective day. I say, usually, as I’m married to an Anglican clergyman, and Sundays were far from quiet in the past. It was actually the busiest day of our week!! They have…

12M ago18:48

18:48

I love life’s little challenges. I love problem solving and turning obstacles into opportunities. I love putting a positive spin on what could otherwise be a negative experience.

If I was ever going to accept my change in life circumstances, I needed to start with changing my self talk chat lines.No longer could I talk to myself as if I could conquer all.
