Learning about your illness and being an informed consumer can make living with an unknown future easier. Take advantage of community services and resources. You'd be surprised at how many resources are available just for the asking. For example, some communities have programs where volunteers drop off and pick up library books. Contact your local library to see if this is available in your area.
Some radio stations read a chapter a day from a current novel.
Check your newspaper listings. The telephone company has adaptive equipment to make phone usage easier. And the Department of Motor Vehicles has information about obtaining disabled privileges. Find new ways to do the things you like to do. Don't stop traveling, gardening, painting, etc., just because it takes a little more planning and preparation.
