There's facing reality, and there's losing the things that give you joy and make you feel alive. You may need to give them up, but they are worth fighting for for as long as possible, if only so you don't feel like you gave up too easily.
It's part of why I now jog.
I should have gone for the chair as soon as I got into the gallery, but I was much happier holding off, even though I didn't enjoy the exhibition as much as I would have liked. Sitting in the chair and not seeing things properly would have only frustrated me.
Nullarbor trips are one of those great joys for me, that's why I want to do one for my birthday - I'm painfully aware that if my deterioration continues, it may be the last time I can do it.
