Woke up this morning to my inbox suffed full of replies to blogs I responded to over the last week or so. I too...am new!
Not sure I will get to reading them all!! SOOOOO MANY! Not sure why they all came at once, does anyone know?
I did come back to read some blogs and was so sad to read how a few bad apples are spreading some negative thoughts instead of some positive, uplifting for folks that are going through some down times.
I know we all go through those down times, but, mostly try to stay as positive and constructive in our lives.
With MS..I have things that happen when I least expect it. One day I can walk...the next week or so, I cannot. And when I have made plans, I get pretty p o'd. But, after a while and encouragement from Papa, I am able to get back on track.
It is only my parents, who tell me I only am seeking attention,or faking, or think I am worthless because I am disabled and can't handle even doing business that drives me nuts an I seperate myself from because of their negativity.
I am notsaying I want sympathy, but a little empathy would be nice. But, even with my now dead sister, they blame her and not her disease for her death. How sad is that?
Handicapped or not, it does not give people the right to "scold" others for having a bad run. Some empathy and compassion would go a long way. IMHO, people that do trash people who are going through a rough time, should keep those negative and "I am all that" attitudes to themselves. We are all different, so don't expect us to be as perfect at handling our everyday changes as perfect as you do....and let the other compassionate people handle what you don't know how too.
Reminds me of the doctors and nurses at the hospital where I worked, when they told a 2 years old that had a broken arm to "Shut up" because he was crying. And Iam not exagerrating. And then scolded the mom for not being able to control her kid. They did that to my daughter when she had a internal displaced spiral fracture..whould not believe her or give her pain meds until 2 hours later when the x-ray came back. Iwas livid.
