the honest truth of who and where we are

 http://smarturl.it/RobThomasPieces Also " diamonds" These songs resemble his wife's chronic illness that went undiagnosed for years. Possible ms, lupus etc. In 2015 she was diagnosed with lymes disease and other serious conditions from not having it treated.   My respect and thoughts for Rob and his suffering wife.....

Our world is chaotic right now. I literally have to disengage from social media and rarely watch the news just to rejuvenate my spirit and find some peace. It is difficult to remain positive in a pessimistic society. We are divided by politics and spiritual beliefs. We are surrounded by violence and hatred. These social ills are affecting my  body,mind,and spirit. I am worried about healthcare and how new laws may reduce our care and quality of life. I am still a person. I am not just a statistic like the data reports. Neither are you. We have a life, a name, and we matter. Many have lost so much already. Physically, financially, and spiritually, MS and chronic illness have depleted them. I often wonder how we can thrive in this current atmosphere, when many of us are just simply trying to survive. This applies to people without illness just as much.It can be disheartening. The skepticism and the current climate are affecting me. I feel as though I am experiencing a lessened...

of late, the weather has been absolutely great here in Queensland. For more reasons than one. A few months ago ,Watching the wildlife fossicking as busy as a person working overtime to prepare their nests. Now they are all very quiet and only the hunter is seen. Don't dare walk somewhere different or unusual to you though as you will be attacked. You can laugh and totally relate as a human really. The excitement of going out shopping and looking at all the baby gizmos. Some required, most not. The labour delivery and then going home and playing mum. I've been watching these possums that live in our roof since May this year. Up until now, they have been very sweet and peaceful. Well things have changed this week as mummy is now a bitch. I only ever heard them going to bed around 4 am. Quietly running along a wire from near a tree and gently landing in the tin roof. Then I would hear a gentle scurry through the cavity for them to get to their usual sleeping spot. This lit...

ms story again.... after all I created this blog as my own way of releasing bad energy and thoughts. I'm very bad lately at just sticking to the norm and familiar. It was serving me well and still is as it keeps me a lot more confident in my day to day movements etc.  I am now learning that something's are not getting attention. Something's are pointless in giving attention as there are no fixes or answers, so they are best just left as they are. However, some things do and have proven to me to maybe try something different. I've been experiencing chronic debilitating pain in my hips. I put it down to my back and maybe I'm guarding it which has caused major tension and inflexibility. Well, of late I realised my right knee and foot are turning in severely and it is impossible to correct. It's obviously taken a long time to get to this severe state and now correcting it will serve the same. One particular day, this was the day I realised the problem was bigger ...

It's something that I've been putting off for so long. Getting back to the treatment and serious side of the medical world and employing a lawyer for a more smoother stress free process of claiming my private permanent disability or TPD as it's commonly known.  Generally these claims get messy and stressful as it's an insurance company of course. Most people have smaller type nest eggs for if such situation should arise. When my mum died, I had to do all her TPD and death insurance claims which made me look at life more seriously and I went in and upped mine to a very compftorable size or amount.... so in summary it's going to be a shit fight. Hiring a lawyer took me so long. Ringing around and hanging up with that gut feeling saying NO, don't go with that one.  I've finally found a local lawyer in gympie Power and Cartwright. Unusually, the phone call to organise a meeting was extremely comforting and just that feeling of " this is going to be ok !...
