Well, In a matter of hours we have all sorts of people willing to help us as a family bringing together man power to build the space I so desperately need. This feels real!
After having a week of bad news- first discovering I need a permanent feeding tube which entails surgery, then beginning to come to terms with huge changes in life style, I have been feeling very down in the dumps to say the least.
Try and imagine not being able to eat your favourite chocolate bar, or packet of crisps.
Try and imagine not being able to drink an ice cold drink on a hot summers day.
Try to imagine not being able sit down with your family over dinner or go out for a meal and enjoy good food and company.
Try and imagine the feeling of knowing if you do these once enjoyable things, you will in fact be subjecting yourself to excruciating pain and sickness.
It sounds tough right? And that is only the beginning.... This is the reality for many people across the world. A statistic I am now part of and having to get used to.
Then the next bit,
Try and imagine feeling so dizzy and faint it is just unbearable to stand up.
Try and imagine feeling like your heart is going to pound right out your chest if you try and walk up the stairs.
Try and imagine feeling so exhausted all the time that its just easier to let go of all you love and lie there and sleep.
Try and imagine dealing with the room spinning, seeing stars and flashing spots as something that is normal multiple times a day.
Try and imagine having to admit defeat and use a wheelchair just so you can get on with the things you want to do.
That sounds pretty tough to? There's another statistic I am part of along with many others.
This is why I so desperately want to raise aware of the life I lead similar to many others, in a hope to raise understanding and also to raise the funds I need to give me a better, but also easier chance in life.
Thanks Guys,
Chloe xx
