OK, so things have been crazy recently and I haven’t been posting as much as I used to. I am back to a good routine and have been thinking about where to go next with TLWC. I have shared my thoughts and feelings on many issues with some practical advice thrown in here and there and now I have decided to go into depth with how to create a thorough Health Management Plan to help you keep organised and on top of your health issues. I am also on track to add a new secton aimed at giving you other practical information for achieving your dreams and goals while taking your health into consideration.
Starting with a thorough Health Management Plan (HMP) will help lay the foundation for living a positive, fulfilling life with Chronic Illness and Injury. A good Health Management Plan will help you in cases of emergency, help keep you on top of your medications and what you are using them for, assist you in keeping track of your medical history and appointment/clinic outcomes and much, much more. I have used my HMP many times and it has also helped my loved ones in cases where I was not well enough to convey vital information to medical staff. My loved ones were able to use my HMP to give medications, medical history and information on recent procedures. A HMP takes a bit of organising and management but the benefits far outweigh the effort you need to put in. In some cases it could be a life saver.
I will create a series of posts starting next Monday on creating and maintaining a Health Management Plan. It will consist of three posts a week for two weeks and at the end of the series you will have enough information to create your own HMP. I hope it will give you more confidence in managing your health as well as give you the freedom to do things that you have put off because of your health.
I have also been looking at creating a resource page for people living with Chronic illness and Injury to help them access information on many topics that will help them manage their health more effectively as well as achieve their goals and dreams. I am currently compiling this information and if you have anything that might help others and you want to share this with them then please do not hesitate to email me. My goal is to help people manage their health as best as possible as well as to help them discover their dreams and goals and then set about achieving them.
So this weekend I will be very busy writing these posts and gathering more information to help you get out there and live a great life regardless of your health. This is something that I wished I had access to many times and I have decided to try and create myself. I pray that it will be of benefit to people out there who feel their health is their identity, that it dictates the outcome of their life. I hope I can help these people because I was one of them in the past and I had to claw my way out of there. I was looking for a helping hand to lift me out but it never came. I am hoping this will be that helping hand…..
I look forward to getting started. Until next week……
Take care, Lily
