Becoming Disabled!

When I become ill I become disabled as I can now not walk far and every day tasks are either hard or impossible. I am on oxygen for most of the day and my life is built around inhalers, drugs and visits to the hospital or doctors.
This is a dramatic lifestyle change and how do you cope with it.Firstly you should never be ashamed or afraid to say that you are disabled.This is what you are and none of us should be ashamed of what we are. Secondly you should not feel guilt about not doing things if you don`t feel good or you simply cannot manage it.You have to realise that now is the time to put yourself and your health first as if you don`t those around you who you love and who you have always put first will not have you around for much longer.
