  Having Fun vs. Being Safe

  Posted by Danielle "Dani" Liptak on June 5, 2019 at 4:17 pm

  Is there anything that you want to do but your doctor has advised against it? If your doctor hasn’t advised against it do you yourself believe your body couldn’t handle it? Does it bother you when you are told you can’t do something by a medical professional, family members, strangers, or friends? 

  I have scuba dived, rode on ATVs in a dessert, went white water rafting, and zip lining. I did all these things when I still could walk well, and against my doctor’s medical advice. Although I didn’t have the ability to lift my arms over my head but I could still walk distances without falling.

  I honestly wish I had done more when I was physically capable. Now a days there isn’t much physical adventure in my life. I usually jump at the opportunity to do something out of my comfort zone and against someones advice but my “adventures” are well planned and accessible.
