On our school discussion board, we have been talking about this statement in relation to persons with disabilities: "With each level of loss, the individual is faced with adjustment/response demands".
A classmate shared that her mother has MS and continues to walk and do things she used to do although her mother says that it takes her so much longer to do those things and she feels so tired.
I told her "I have great admiration that she continues to walk despite the struggles she has in continuing. That should be an inspiration to you all about who she is as a person. She is determined to not let disability stand in her way."
She responded with this little blurb that made me chuckle and smile. It was definitely a positive thing...."Thank you so much. One of the things she finds to be very helpful is that she exercises daily. She does a 30 minute aerobic video in the morning. She will do the legs part on her back. The cute part is the cat will do the exercises with her and the cat lays on her back also. It is so funny."
