Moan

OK maybe it is just me, but i am really getting sick of people who have something wrong with them using it as an excuse for everything, now this is coming from personal experience, i have a very rare condition called Stiff persons syndrome (yes, i laughed too the first time i was told.) Basically i spend around 4-6 months a year in a wheelchair, i am, like alot of people with various conditions, constantly in some form of pain, But i still run a massive hot rod and custom car club, have a full-time job, ok it's not one i really like or what i trained for but i do it, and manage to have a full life by any ones standard, since being diagnosed i now know this is progressive and incurable and i will in the future be permanently wheelchair bound and eventually i may be unable to do anything for myself, so what did i do, thought right i always said i want to rode a motorbike so i will, and now can. I am building a car to go drag racing in, doing all the work involved myself by modifying a few tools and things so i can do it myself, ok i can't lift or such things but where there's a will there's a way, i use pulleys and cranes instead. I also have built a frame which when i am really, really bad i can haul myself in and out of the car myself. Now another part of my condition is depression, so yes i have snappy days and down days but there i am lucky in that i have some great friends who pull me through but having so much to do actually means i can't stop and go woe is me. Now i except that not everyone is like this, some are not as strong as i am mentally, i am a fighter, but still when i get 'My whatever is playing up and i can't whatever', balls is what i say, can't is a state of mind. I have someone i am talking to on the net who hasn't spoken to me because there condition is playing up, i know what it is and what it entails but still if with whiplash and concussion and my SPS playing up and no computer at home, i can go to a friends to make sure i am keeping up to date with things, someone else can go onto there computer and say look this is the situation, not hugely talkative at the moment but give me a couple of days I'll get back to you. It's not hard. Sorry needed a rant because people like this really are a waste i just want to shake them and say what are you doing with your life? Sure i shall get some comments about this but hey it's my blog, and if you don't like it that's your problem.

Ok rant finished normal service will resume shortly.

  1. Rant all you want, that's part of having a blog...write what you want! I do agree with you. I've been guilty myself, but usually give myself a kick in the arse and get back to life. I looked at your other posts, for a newbie you knit some great stuff!!! That sweater is so cute!
