“If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.”  Les Brown

We have all had the experience where we would have “wished” we had said something different or done something different, when we were put in a situation that we didn’t stand up for ourselves.

When that occurred we did not feel good about our situation or ourselves.  People can push us to our limit, and then some.  They can be friends, family, neighbors or co-workers.  They can also be the people you are dealing with who are working with you, on your medical team that is treating your loved one or you.

As you are learning from Sallycares.com, this business of taking your health care seriously and being your own advocate, requires organization, education and a desire to have some peace of mind when it comes to your healthcare, your loved one’s healthcare and you.

Do your job and be part of the solution.  Do expect your medical professionals to guide you with their best effort to improve your situation.  DON’T expect everything to be done for you and/or blame anyone in your immediate circle of support with a “woe is me” attitude, because your need(s) did not get met.

Get up, look for answers, and ask questions.  What is the worst thing that can happen?  Someone will say NO?  Well that isn’t a problem.  Where there is someone standing in your pathway, blocking your view from the education and information that is out there, make a detour.

That person who was standing in your way isn’t moving.  You are.  That’s the whole point.  Keep your head up and move forward.  Don’t get stuck and think there is nothing more to learn.  You may have a disease that is limiting your ability to move and function, and you want to be able to do more.  Maybe your disease is under the best possible control and you need to work on changing your attitude toward what you aren’t able to do, and learn now to modify things to do more.
