An Amazing Lady
HiMany have health issues or disabilities.
The thing is to be positive, it is amazing what you can do.
This lady is proof positive, a wheelchair diver.

Never give up, I was told in 1991 that I would never walk or work again,I do both,but this lady puts me to shame.

How wonderful .Especially as an artistic statement re wheelchairs
Although I would imagine it's easier to dive without a wheelchair .
I don't think people really want to ignore people in wheelchairs they may have been told as a child as I was it's rude to stare.

She is an amazing lady but I think it's wrong to think anyone, young or old, in a wheelchair could be like that. She finds she can be, others in a wheelchair perhaps can't no matter what their mental attitude to being in a wheelchair might be.If that sounds not in the spirit of the thread, you'd be right. My upbeat nature has gone down over recent months.

Re: An Amazing Lady
It's a big mistake to think it's just positive thinking, the lady is amazing but many things many be stopping others doing the same. I'm in awe at my husband at the moment he's coming home hopefully after the doctors sign him off later today but I know he's one on a million and very very many others wouldn't be coming home like this. Nothing to do with positivity it's shear bloody minded stubbornness and a high pain threshold. Others may have other reasons for doing things or not but just having a positive mental attitude won't do it.08-03-2018, 03:10 PM

I understand where you are coming from.
I am housebound at the moment, solely due to the NHS Cockups.
I remain positive, that is what keeps me going.
I am not going to written off.
I will be driving by Easter, I will get my fit to fly.
I exercise at home, I can do so much more.
Much much more than the Medics said I could do.
Life is for living, I intend to live it to the full.
My son, Guy,has never seen a tiger in the wild.
He will do this year and I will take him to do so.
I am simply not giving in to anybody,ever.
