🆚 ALS Journey: Work or Disability? | Die Trying Vlog #3 💪🍴
www.gofindsomejoy.com
Welcome to the third episode of "The Die Trying Vlog - Facing ALS Head-On." In this episode, I delve into one of the most critical decisions facing many living with ALS: choosing between continuing to work or opting for disability benefits. 🤔
As I navigate through these tough choices, I also share how I maintain my physical health with a tailored workout routine. Watch me push my limits and adapt exercises to fit my abilities, demonstrating that physical activity is possible and beneficial at any stage of this journey. 💪
Join me for a heartwarming lunch with a colleague where we discuss life, work, and everything in between. It’s these moments of connection that keep us going, reminding us of the joy and support we have in our lives. 🍽️❤️
I started this vlog seven months ago after being diagnosed with ALS, aiming to bring awareness to the disease by documenting my daily experiences. Visit my website for more insights and stories: www.gofindsomejoy.com

Thank you for watching and remember to find some joy every day! 🌟

    I came up with this quote in the midst of health, financial, and life situations in my 40's and have been all over the spectrum since: " Life can be between the suffocating circumstances and joyous possibilities" and now that I am 60, I found myself worrying more than experiencing the joy. I missed the positive person I was and the hope I felt. God blessed so many teachers, friends, loved ones, and even strangers with your kindness, knowledge, and joyful spirit. I've been watching your videos and see the joy in students' smiles and that connection has changed the trajectory of their lives. Do whatever is necessary to put yourself first. We are praying for you.

    Teachers, don't fall for this shit! Read the essay and give honest, human feedback. Not this lousy, soulless stuff. And it doesn't free up time! You do the marking outside of class. You must be a lousy teacher.

    I appreciate you sharing this information. My pain started back in December 23. Thought it was stress related in my neck..another month goes by and I thought it was a pulled muscle, by April the pain became unbearable and I had been seeing my chiropractor. The X-Ray showed severe Degenerative disease. Thank GOD he was able to push for an MRI..it showed severe stenosis in vertebrae 6&7. I have an apt to see my Neurosurgeon this Thursday. I’m scared about the surgery, but I know it will be ok. Glad you had a great turnout. God Bless.

    I remember about 20 years ago, the only ride my dad would get on was it's a small world. I'm not sure if that was accessibility problems or his preference. I do remember the cast members being very stern with me for following my Dad onto the monorail going on the ramp they set down for him. Apparently, I wasn't supposed to do that 🤷

    Did you know that the Nemo Submarine Voyage is great for wheelchair users? If you ask, a cast member will take you to a room with a screen to see the ride and it’s very spacious, and air conditioned.
