I live with chronic pain and one of the hardest things is for me knowing that every day is different. I still have a smile on my face though and a sense of humour, some may say dark but a sense of humour nonetheless.
I deal with my condition by showing others that no matter how bad it is, you can still challenge yourself. I work with young people in 2 different capacities; my day job is as a teacher and my fun job is as a team leader on youth projects and programmes. As a tutor I share about my difference as I believe it gives them a greater understanding of disability and difference. This does sometimes make me a little unpopular with my boss!
In my other job I am the first one up the abseiling tower or in the pool because if I can do it, they believe they can too.
My body pays the price daily but for as long as I can, I am going to continue to push myself and make a difference to others.
