…but I hope it’s not just the drugs. 4 injections of Hydrocortisone a day for 5 days makes a big difference to your inflammation, but also to your outlook. And your energy level. And, maybe, to your attitude. I don’t want to bang on about it too much, but the jolt to the system has been a very positive one.
Lessons for myself:
1 Be more empathetic. More kindly, accepting, of others, but also of yourself. You are better than you think you are.
2 Look for the good in others, rather than the Daily Mail in them. (I know what I mean – perhaps you do).
3 Look for and be open to beauty around you, however unlikely the place.
4 You can always do more.
5 Live now. Be in the moment. Suck it dry.
6 Show your friends that you value them.
7 It’s a wonderful world (yeah I know blah blah… )
So – we all knew this already. But how to live it? That’s the real work.
AND MANY THANKS TO MY EXCELLENT NURSES AND CARERS IN BRIGHTON’S HOSPITAL! ALL POWER TO YOU AND A DECENT LIVING WAGE! Shame on this loathsome government.
