Well, we are in the Holiday Season and as we all know, it is such a busy time of the year for everyone, whether it is physically walking around the stores shopping or mentally figuring out presents and meal preparations.Ā It is aĀ wonderfulĀ time of the yearĀ andĀ exhausting to say the least.
For people with chronic illnesses it is a time to be very careful with the use of all of your energy being absorbedĀ Ā inĀ Christmas shopping, wrapping, cleaning and holiday entertaining.Ā Beware of getting rundown from overdoing.Ā Always remember the consequences of your particular illnessĀ when you overdo.Ā We all know them, from being so exhausted you can barely get out of bed, to the intensity of your illness escalating and making you very sick.Ā Beware and donāt be foolish.Ā DONāT OVERDO!
āFor many wonderful years I did everything at holiday time and worked full time too.Ā I loved having my house filled with family, grandchildren running around, presents and good food.Ā Yes, it was a lot of work but I loved it. Ā When my illness hit, it was as if a light shut off inside of me.Ā My energy was gone; I never felt well; Ā I couldnāt do or enjoy these things anymore.Ā It was devastating to me.ā
As I have stated before, I have nontuberculousĀ mycobacterium avium complex of both lungs with bronchiectasis.Ā (Nontuberculous mycobacterialĀ disease (NTM) lung disease is a devastating chronic illness mostly affecting women. NTM is a naturally occurring environmental pathogen which impacts tens of thousands of people every year in the United States alone. The bacteria are widely found in the environment, including soil and tap water, which means people can become infected through everyday activities such as showering and gardening.)
Thank goodness for my children who took over the holidays and do a wonderful job of it and Ā I am able to enjoy time withĀ my familyĀ during the holiday season.Ā Please have a happy and healthy holiday season.Ā Sit down and let someone else take over.
