A person can prepare for a possible event. But when a body fails in a dramatic fashion all you can do is deal with the fall out. Put the pieces back together and limp along. So many conditions have no cure. Just a few tips, maybe even too obvious to mention, but this post got me thinking.
1. Move any and all parts that still move
2. Develope an interest apart from medical issues. At first I was obsessive. Fine. But move on. If we're alive there's still life to live.
3 Give. If all you can do is read, then share books, or read to a kid. If you can laugh, share a joke. If you can bake, then share with someone who cant. There is so much to give. Even just conversation. Lot of lonely people out there, maybe within your own family.

Yep. Simple stuff. Kinda no brainer, I know. No matter what my struggles are, life isn't just about me. Gotta remind myself.
