Been given a visual awakening... #letstalkhealth
My nana has been staying with me for just over a week now, and yesterday she went to hospital. The state she was in when arriving here was awful, and it has become progressively worse with continuous coughing, swollen feet, shortness of breath, sleepiness and disorientation... on top of this, she's a diabetic. The ambulance was called and it was initially thought that she had a chest infection, foot infection and high blood sugar. However, further investigation showed that her sugars were fine, her foot was not infected nor was her chest, but in-fact something much bigger was happening underneath it all. Today she was told she has cardiac heart failure and COPD. Her heart is struggling to pump blood around her body. Her organs are so crammed inside and surrounded by fat that her health is deteriorating. If you knew my nana you’d know she’s a real kid at heart and also, respectfully speaking, is slightly immature when it comes to her well-being and health. Anyway... what the real hard-hitter was when finding out about her illness is that it is mostly caused due to her obesity - something that could have so easily been prevented.
As I was making nana a cuppa tea in the hospitals kitchen area, I couldn’t help but notice the poster on the wall about the warning  signs of diabetes. Reading through it all made me realize that I have a-lot of these warning signs - tingling feet, increased appetite, sleepiness after meals, constant need to pee at night as well as the obvious weight problem I am facing. I began to wonder if I was heading on the same path as my nana. When you compare my nan, to her sister the difference is huge. My aunt has always been conscious of her health and well-being. She’s more than triple my age and sharp as a knife. She’s fit, strong, up-beat and sassy. Only one year apart, these two both came from the same place but have ended up very different... and why is this? Because of consistency in health. One is strict on her diet and exercise regime, the other is careless and loves to indulge in the guilty pleasures more than so often, but look where it’s left her... not dead but also not in a state where she is able to live life to the fullest.
I wholeheartedly believe everything happens for a reason. I’m realizing important things right now, and am being given a visual picture of what I may become when I get old based on the decisions that I make now. Continue and end up like my nana, or change.
