"You are not obligated to do everything a healthy person does. You are not obligated to be an inspiration. You are not obligated to hide your illness in order to make other people comfortable. You are allowed to know your limits. You are allowed to have bad days. You are allowed to stay in bed if you can’t get up to do anything but go to the bathroom. It is not your fault if other people leave you because of your illness. It is not your fault that you are sick. You don’t have to apologize for something that is out of your control." - Unknown
The TEXT that changed my life: And turned my mountains upside down.
I am a UIAGM Mountain Guide based in Verbier Switzerland. At least that is what I used to be... Back in 2000 I was at the top of my form life was taking it's course and I was at the end of my guides courses and at the very beginnings of a promising guiding career. Little did I know that a I was to fall through the trap doors of Meniere's Disease during the following summer of 2001.
