Weekly Photo Challenge: Solitary

No Comments

Hey Everyone

I hope you are all well as possible (AWAP!).  I haven’t been well recently so haven’t been able to keep up or take any photographs for the Weekly Photo Challenge, but as I am feeling slightly better thought I would start back up as it’s an excellent way of getting the creative juices flowing!  This week’s challenge is solitary which is defined as ‘the state of being alone’.  The photograph that I have chosen is taken from my sick bed when I was so unwell that I my legs were so weak, and I was feeling so dizzy and sick that I was confined to my bed.  And so my faithful dog, Honey stayed with me lying on the floor by my bedroom door protecting me.

WEGO Health: Myth Mugshot Photo Contest!!

No Comments

Hey Everyone

Right for those who are on Facebook, I would really appreciate some help.  For May, the folks at WEGO Health are aiming to dispel common misconceptions and myths surrounding illness and disabilities.

One of the ways in which they are raising awareness of different health conditions and causes is to hold a ‘Myth Mugshot Photo Contest’ which gets patients, carers of health activists like myself to share something that is true and important to their particular condition or cause, and to upload a photograph of ourselves holding a piece of paper that tells the truth about the person’s particular health condition.

I ave decided to share the following:

Hidden Disabilities DO Exist

There are many people still out there who still believe that if a person does not look sick or disabled then there can’t be much wrong with them.  This of course is s a huge misconception as there a large number of health conditions which are hidden, and cannot tell by looking at someone that they have a particular health condition.  These include conditions such as depression, anxiety, diabetes, neurological conditions, those with brain injuries and the list goes on and on.

So please for those who are on Facebook please visit the WEGO Health Myth Mugshots Photo Contest Page (just click the link!) and ‘Like’ my photo (the 14th one on the page) of me holding a sheet which says my truth (“Hidden Disabilities DO Exist”)

Thank you
