Deborah, I think what I took as a negative, has been transformed into quite a positive experience here, thanks to you and many others. Thank you! xox Kevin

For the record, I know for a fact that Rams' blog was not directed at you. Kevin, you keep doing exactly what you are doing. I love your work, your blogs, and your incredibly positive attitude even though you find yourself in a nearly impossible situation. xo...Ruth

To fhp: I kept working as a photojournalist for many years after the onset of my illness. New technologies, like autofocus cameras, (new back then), made one-handed photography possible. As time went on, I could only work by using a tripod..even using a tripod as a cane to walk with, with the tripod legs folded. Only one person caught on, a nursing professor who obviously had an eye for such things. My work did indeed keep my mind off of my pain..until I got home. Then I was in a car accident,…

Only one person caught on, a nursing professor who obviously had an eye for such things. My work did indeed keep my mind off of my pain..until I got home. Then I was in a car accident, that ended my career. A few years ago, I even bought a new digital camera..always hoping that some treatment or cure will come along. Art is wonderful in that way. I have some ideas for doing vlogs with a camera attached to my wheelchair.

@Photo: please forgive me, I never meant to imply that your life was all about your illness. That was rather rude and presumptuous of me. My life is not all about my pain either so I never should have suggested that your life was. Of course there is more to your life then your illness. However, what you say is true, illness does drastically chance our lives. I have a close friend who tells me that all the time. How drastically his illness affected her life.

@Photo: please forgive me, I never meant to imply that your life was all about your illness. That was rather rude and presumptuous of me. My life is not all about my pain either so I never should have suggested that your life was. Of course there is more to your life then your illness. However, what you say is true, illness does drastically chance our lives. I have a close friend who tells me that all the time. How drastically his illness affected her life. Aside from the physical side of things, he lost friends because of it, because they couldn't deal with it...I can see how physical pain can add to our emotional pain..and I can see how working it out in video or blog form might help us come to terms with both.<br />

I respect anyone's right to ask a question on here, but whether or not it was directed towards me, some broad generalizations were made that I also have a right, and I feel a responsibility, to respond to. Why a responsibility? It wasn't that long ago that laws were created to protect people with disabilities. If some people didn't speak up, and just suffered in silence, those laws may never have been passed. To me, this whole issue is much bigger than myself.<br />

My life is not just about my illness, though my illness has drastically changed my life. I have lost friends and family because they couldn't deal with it. It is what it is.<br />
On other sites, I have had strong positive reaction from people who said they felt alone until they saw someone else had the same thing they did. So you are correct, it has made a difference for me and others.<br />
<br />
I also put up a few vids this past week. One a music vid, the other showing some of my personal photography. So it's not all about my health. I have many interests. My recent blogs are about health partly because my Mother became very ill recently, (she's doing better now thankfully), and it brought everything home.<br />

I once read a small book called "creativity and disease" about how many great artists and thinkers lived with diseases.<br />
My take on Rams blog was that he was asking - in a weird way - if physical relief can actually come from the act of creating a blog. An interesting question that I would of course say "yes" to. Like my friend who is in the late stages of muscular distrophy - who only finds relief while making art.<br />
Then Rams swerved off of the point. He got...Rammy.<br />

Slightly related - Judith has started a series of blogs over on vloggerheads about indignities she has suffered due to not having wheelchair accessibility. I find her blogs eye opening.<br />
A few winters ago I fell on the ice and didn't walk for a month - found myself writing in a notebook - something I do not do. If I had been part of a site like this back then I damned sure would have been blogging.
