Hi, you are “face to face with Shell”.
I wanted to talk to you about my recent diagnosis of MS, as I was talking to a very dear friend who used to be a fire fighter, and I said that I was going to talk about my diagnosis on my channel and website, and they said that would be a great idea, as there will be other burn survivors out there that have other things happen to them.
So, here we go again…something else to navigate through. Shock, fear; what does the future hold, what treatments are there for me, disability, upset, etc., all these emotions surface again.
PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT THE VIDEO BELOW AND READ ON:
When I got my diagnosis, which was over the telephone, which was ok, as I wanted to know as soon as possible what was wrong with me. These symptoms had been happening for more than two years and all sorts was going through my head. So although it was a shock and it was something that I wasn’t expecting, it was in some way a relief, as I now knew what was wrong with me. It was still upsetting though.
I am not one of these people that wallow or wants sympathy all this time but more understanding. If people give me sympathy, I’m more inclined to get upset but this is a natural reaction for each of us.
So, if you are the start of your burn journey, it’s like I’m going through the start of another journey, let’s travel it together.
I’ve done the first part of my burn journey but let’s journey on a new adventure together.
And if you’re like me, a long way into your burn journey, I’m there with you too.
I’m also with you too if you are going through something new…whatever it is…let’s do it together.
I said that someone was rolling the dice wrong and my mum said that they were using loaded dice…lol.
