I get stairs when I use my handicap placard, or at work, even people doubt that I don’t have the ability to do things that I’m not able to do - therefore expectations are high and I get through it (and feel good about it) although the recovery is brutalHow has your chronic illness affected your relationships? *I didn’t date for 10 years after being very active with dating and relationships before this all started. I have had a relationship that broke up after this all started and had another relationship that this put a lot of stress on. Friendships also are tough because tough times are when you can realize NEW friends and some that you can do without.Is there anything you are afraid to tell people in your life? *Absolutely ... I’m afraid to talk about my rock bottom moments when I cry myself to sleep from exhaustion, or about moments when I just want to ‘quit’ my functioning life and try to go on disability ... or even the idea of losing a limb is tough to say out loud.Does the fact that your disease is invisible change how healthcare professionals treat you? *At times. Thankfully I do have scars (they’re not showing) but once I tell my story and have SOME validation, that’s better. But without those ‘facts’ to back it up, it’s definitely toughWhat is your best coping mechanism? *Everything comedy / doing things I really enjoy, music / I love going to concerts, love sports ... I also lose the group of people I have cultivated with similar conditions (bone tumor awareness): without them, I don’t know where I’d be today. They understand me the MOST by far.What are you the most concerned about and the most hopeful for in the future? *I am the most concerned about continual issues that are caused as a byproduct of my initial diagnosis (which I already have ... injuries in other parts of my body bc of compensating) as well as the potential of losing my leg, ... but I am hopeful for research and continuing advancements in treatments for these awful tumors. I’m also hopeful for a true love story where I feel loved unconditionally and truly taken care of by someone that isn’t related by blood.Is there anything you want to make sure we talk about during the interview? Like an organization you want to promote or something specific that you deal with.I’d love to talk about how digital/social media has been an incredible tool for being able to cultivate a group of ppl with this rare ailment (or very similar ones) to relate to and cope with / Bone Tumor AwarenessWhat is the hardest and/or best lesson your condition has taught you?I have to look out for #1 first and foremost, ... and that there isn’t an infallible/perfectly smart human (I.e. physicians) that get it right ALL THE TIME. you have to fight and be your own advocate to get the care you deserve. This has also taught me to control my finances!!! But that if you have a specific mentality I truly thing you can accomplish a lot with ‘thoughts’.What is the best purchase under $100 that helped your lifeMy GRABBER! (Hilarious)Any questions you think we should add to this list?The story about how my condition was discovered / I’d love to put info out there for anyone that can be helpful or preventative Hosted on Acast.
