The Past

I remember when On this page I want to recall the things I did that I am unlikely to do now I have Ataxia. In no part of this site do I set out to get sympathy but I do want to give a clear understanding to the reader, of what restrictions, someone diagnosed with Ataxia, may have to confront and what emotions they may feel. I know you should never say never but there are some basic things I am unlikely to do now. If I am proven wrong and, by some miracle, I do get to do these things well I will eat my PC. I feel its part of the acceptance process to say I will never enjoy hill walking or playing cricket. Tend to the garden like they do on Groundforce or run a scout troop on my own. All of the above I am proud to say "I once did this" but to do them again independently is most unlikely. With Ataxia , it will take time, but we all need to accept, we can do some things ourselves, some things with some assistance and some things are better done for us by somebody else. Recently, I have accepted, casual offers of help a lot more often because I have begun to realize that it is much easier and, sometimes safer for me and also other people are glad to be of help.
