Response to blog on ‘The Hospital’ pg88
I found your blog on the time you spent it hospital particularly touching. I could relate with the feelings you experienced during this tough time because I had a similar experience when I was in hospital after my major car accident that happened in 1990. I particularly enjoyed reading about how difficult it was for you to communicate with the nurses and the feeling of confinement, two experiences that I too myself found rather challenging when I was in the same situation. Being incapable to bath oneself and use the lavatory in your own time must have been rather infuriating so I deeply sympathise with you for having to endure it. As for the Mcdonald’s and KFC cravings; I know exactly how that feels, I got so sick of hospital food that I couldn’t wait to eat fast food. You are truly an inspiration to the youth of today living with disabilities. I adored your section on the lesson learned. You are so right when you say that God will never throw you in a ditch without a rope. With a whole lot of faith one can go very far. You should be so proud of the person you have become and because of what you have been through you have become a stronger person who is able to handle situations more effectively. You inspire me. I was completely moved by your story.

  2. It intrigues me that we all choose the stories we can relate to. Your comments are truly uplifting, and if I were in the same position of the original author, I probably would've felt better in the situation. It always seems like when you know that someone else knows what you are going through and feels for you it sort of makes you feel better. You are immediately connected with each other and know exactly how he or she feels. I also sympathise with you for what happened with you, and I am sad to hear that you were in a bad accident. What caught my attention most is that you can reflect from your situation and say " God will never throw you in a ditch without a rope" what that means to me is that if you are in the situation God knows you can handle it. Your response has had a positive impact on my day and I admire you. thanks for making my day.
