Where Life Takes You

Hi Friends

This is my first blog ever, :)
I'd like to start off with the reason why I'm here typing this...

A year ago to this day November 18th my life changed...
It all began with a viral infection in my inner ear, this caused mis-communication signals to my brain of which the results where major head spins. This in turn was labeled and treated as Vestibular Disorder / Labyrinthitis..

You ask yourself what is Vestibular Disorder? This my friend is not a pleasant experience what so ever.. best description is like going on a ride that spins you non stop and you can't get off.

Now that you have a better understanding of this condition, the first 3mths of having this I was so limited to movement without flaring the symptoms,there were so tough days and there are still obstetricals no matter who you are...

Once the medication was introduced I was then able to function but still was unable to cook a meal, over several mths my symptoms settled without too much discomfort. As time passed I gained more strength able to do a few house chores and 3X a week was required for Physio treatment. I'm dealing with scar tissue of which we know once something is scared it's never 100% healed, I have peeks and valleys I'm able to drive to physio merging is not one of my favorite things to do as I still get spins when I turn my head.

My ability to do things has improved tremendous however I still have my limitations, still not working, driving in the City is an issue. Every day I push myself, even when I was in a terrible state of spinning ... I'd grab my camera and headed out whether it was just in my back garden or down the country road I was determined not to let this change who I am..

In many ways my photography is my therapy giving me such peace of mind, raising my spirits, and giving me that sense of freedom and normality.
This has changed my life in ways of jumping aboard pursuing my dreams in Photography

We all have our limitations whether it's physical or emotional but we can gain strength by knowing we have healing aids, we just need to apply them.

I will end this blog with......

"Learn to Live each day as if it were your last.. Be patient and respect your time to heal.. Never take anyone Or anything for granted..

Your Life Can Change in an Flash.. Love the ones around you" ♥
