Ngeendlela ezininzi, uMontel Williams usilela ekuchazeni. Ngama-60, uyadlamka, uyathetha, kwaye uqhayisa uluhlu olude kunye nolunomdla lweekhredithi. Umamkeli-ntetho owaziwayo. Umbhali. Umrhwebi. Owayesakuba nguManzini. Umkhumbi wamanzi waselwandle. Iqhwa. Umntu osindileyo kwi-sclerosis. Kwaye ngoku, indima yakhe yamva nje kukuthethelela ukonzakala kwengqondo (i-TBI).

U-Healthline usandula ukuhlala phantsi no-Williams ukuba baxoxe ngemicimbi yezempilo kunye nezinto azithandayo eziyeyona nto iphambili kubomi bakhe bobuchwephesha. Ngomhla ka-Matshi ukwenzeka ukuba ibe yiNyanga yoKwazisa ngoKwenzakala kweBongo kwaye njengokuba uza kufumanisa, ukwenza ukuba abantu bazi ukuba kuye kwaba yinjongo kaMontel.

TBI: Ukubandezeleka kuthe cwaka

Okwangoku xa ubuza uWilliams malunga ne-TBI, uvula amanani. Kwaye la manani ayothusa: "E-United States kuphela ngoku - ukubandezeleka mihla le - bangaphezulu kwe-5.2 yezigidi zabantu abanendlela ethile yokulimala kwengqondo okanye eyenzakalisayo. Yonke imihla abantu abayi-134 bayasweleka ngenxa yokulimala kwengqondo okanye okwenzakalisayo. Iindleko zonyaka ngo-2010 zaziyi-76.5 yezigidigidi zeedola, kubandakanya i-11.5 yezigidigidi zeendleko zonyango ngqo kunye ne-64.8 yezigidigidi kwiindleko ezingathanga ngqo. Konke oku kusekelwe ekuphulukaneni nomvuzo, imveliso, kunye nezo ntlobo zezinto… Sinombulali ongathethiyo eMelika obeka uxinzelelo kuwo onke amanqanaba oluntu lwethu. Yiyo loo nto inyanga efana nale ibaluleke kangaka. ”

Kwabaninzi, igama elithi "TBI" lithanda ukuguqula imifanekiso yabo banemizimba echanabeke ngokugqithiseleyo, njengabadlali bebhola ekhatywayo okanye amajoni abone umsebenzi osebenzayo. Njengomntu owayesakuba ngumkhosi ngokwakhe, ukwanda kwe-TBI kumagqala yinxalenye enkulu yomfanekiso kaWilliams. Kodwa uyakhawuleza ukubonisa ukuba i-TBI inokubangelwa lilo naliphi na iqhuma, ukuvuthuza, okanye ukudumba entloko okuphazamisa ukusebenza kwesiqhelo kwengqondo. Ekuqaleni, ayinakubangela nantoni na ngaphandle kokudideka okanye ukulahleka okufutshane. Kodwa kunokuba nzima kakhulu ngokuhamba kwexesha. UWilliams sele enolwazi malunga nesihloko kwaye usichaza ngale ndlela: “Usenokulahleka ngokupheleleyo, kodwa xa uvuka unokuba nezinto ezinje ngokulahleka kwememori kwaye emva koko, iimpawu ezinobulali kakhulu njengokugungqa okanye ukuba ndindisholo okanye ukungalingani , izinto onokucinga ngazo, oh izakudlula, kodwa azihambi. ”

Iimpawu eziqhubela phambili zinokuvela kwintloko ukuya kutshintsho lweemvakalelo ukukhala ezindlebeni zakho. Ngokuka-Williams kwaye ngokusekwe kwimisebenzi yakhe neBrain Injury Association of America, “Bangaphezulu kwama-300,000 abantu ngonyaka ezenzekileyo kwaye abazenzi nokuba zihlolwe. Bavala ugqirha kwiinyanga ezintandathu anesixhenxe kamva ngenxa yeempawu ezishiyekileyo. Yiyo loo nto kubalulekile ukuba abantu banike ingqalelo. ”

Ukufana phakathi kwe-TBI kunye ne-MS

UWilliams uyavuma ukuba unezizathu zobuqu zomdla wakhe kwi-TBI. "Xa ujonga kwingqondo yomntu one-MS, ingqondo yakhe igcwele amanxeba, kuba uninzi lwabantu aluqondi nokuba i-MS ithetha ukuba yi-multiple sclerosis, nto leyo ngesiLatin ithetha amanxeba amaninzi. Sinezikrelemnqa ezininzi kwinto engwevu okanye emhlophe ebuchotsheni, kunye nemithambo yethu yomqolo. ”

U-Williams unethemba lokuba ukukhuthaza uphando kunye nonyango kwihlabathi lokulimala kwengqondo kuya kuvula iingcango zokufumanisa kunye nethemba kubantu abane-MS kunye nezinye izifo ezichitha izifo. Enye yeendlela adlala ngayo indima yakhe kukukhuthaza ukufikelela kwizilingo.

Izilingo zokulimala kwengqondo

Uvavanyo lwezonyango lukhona, kwaye uWilliams ufuna ukwenza kube lula kubantu ukuba bazifumane. Udale iBrainInjuryTrial.com, ukuvumela abantu ukuba bangene kwi-Intanethi kwaye babone ukuba bona, okanye umntu abamthandayo, banokulungela ukuthatha inxaxheba kuvavanyo lwezonyango olusekwe kwiimpawu zabo.

Kwakhona, ibali elingemva eli phulo lelakho. Kwiminyaka emithandathu enesiqingatha eyadlulayo, uWilliams wamenywa ukuba athathe inxaxheba kulingo kwiYunivesithi yaseWisconsin. Uyifaka kwikhredithi ngokumnceda ukuba aphathe i-MS yakhe ngeendlela ezintsha, ezifanelekileyo. Kuye, yayikukutshintsha komdlalo.

“Kukho izilingo eziqhubekayo ngoku ezikwisigaba sesithathu ezibonakalise ithemba ekunikeni isiqabu kwizigulana. Usenokuthatha inxaxheba kwityala ngoku elinokukunceda ngoku, iminyaka emithandathu, emithathu, emine, iminyaka emihlanu ngaphambi kokuba nabani na afumane ithuba lokuncedwa. Ukuba kukho umntu ondixelele ukuba ndingathatha ikhefu iminyaka emihlanu ndilapha, ndilapha. Kutheni ndingahlupheka eminye iminyaka emihlanu ukuba ndinokuba semngciphekweni kwaye ndibenoxanduva lokunika abanye abaninzi ithemba? ”

Ukuxilongwa okwaqala konke

Ngo-1999, uMontel Williams kwafunyaniswa ukuba une-multiple sclerosis. Ngamazwi akhe, "Mhlawumbi ndine-MS ukusukela ngo-1980, kwaye khange ndibhaqwe ukuba ndilungile, masithi ndinayo iminyaka engama-40." Njengabaninzi, into yokuqala awayenzayo yayikukufunda yonke into awayenokuyifumana malunga ne-MS.

"Enye iwebsite yayithetha ngokuphila ixesha elide, kwaye yathi kumadoda ase-Afrika aseMelika, kunciphisa ixesha lokuphila naphi na phakathi kwe-12 ukuya kwi-15 yepesenti. Kwakungo 2000, ke ngoku ndijongile kwaye ndicinga, ithi ixesha lokuphila kwendoda yase-Afrika yaseMelika ngeloxesha yayingu 68 1/2. Ukuba ubomi buncitshisiwe ngepesenti ye-15, iyakuba yiminyaka eyi-9.2 ngaphandle kweminyaka engama-68. Yiyo 59.1. Oko kuthetha ukuba ngendifile ngoku. Ndineminyaka engama-60. Ngexesha lokuva oko, oko kwandinika kuphela iminyaka esithoba ukuba ndiphile. Ndiyathanda, uyaphambana? Ayenzeki lo nto. ”

Ukubetha iingxaki… kunye nobushushu

Nabani na owaziyo ngoMontel Williams uyazi ukuba uyindoda ekumishini. Namhlanje, injongo yakhe kukuzigcina esempilweni kwaye ancede abanye benze okufanayo, nokuba kungokufezekisa ukufikelela kuvavanyo lweklinikhi okanye ukufaka i-Living Well yakhe ngeemveliso zeMontel. Kwaye ukuba ubuzibuza, uyakwenza ngokwenene oko akushumayelayo. "Ndinomkhankaso kulo nyaka, ubizwa ngokuba yi" Six Pack kuma-60, "kwaye ndikholelwe, ndinenye kwaye nangaphezulu. Ndikhwele ikhephu. Kulo nyaka kuphela, sele ndineentsuku ezingama-27 kwaye phantse iintsuku ezingama-30, kwaye ndiza kufumana ezinye ezisixhenxe okanye ezisibhozo ngaphambi kokuphela kwesizini. Ndiza kuya kukhwela ikhephu eChile kweli hlobo. ”

Ngelishwa, yayikukuxilongwa kwakhe yi-MS okwaqala kwamfaka kwi-snowboarding. “Ukubuya kwam xa kwafunyaniswa ukuba ndine-MS, ndaba nobushushu obugqithisileyo. Nanini na xa iqondo lobushushu lingaphezu kwama-82, kwakufuneka ndiwushiye uMntla Merika. Ndaya eMzantsi Melika kwaye ndichitha ihlobo ebusika eSantiago, eChile. Ndabona nje ukuba ndiza kwenza into ethile, kwaye ndangena nje kwi-snowboard xa ndandineminyaka engaphezu kwama-45 ubudala. Ndiqale ukwenza nje into ebandayo. Kukhulula kakhulu. Ngokwenene ndifunde ukuyenza phantse njengebhodi yebhola ekhubazekileyo. Ndineengxaki ezinzima kakhulu ze-hip flexor. Amaqatha am ayengasebenzi njengoninzi. Ngenxa yale protocol kunye nale nto ibikade ndiyenza ngesixhobo iHelios, oku kundibuyisele umzimba.

Ukushumayela amandla okutya

Ukuba ucinga ukuba uWilliam unomdla wokuqina, vele umenze ukuba aqale ngesihloko sokutya. Njengabaninzi abaphila neemeko ezingapheliyo, uyazi kakuhle amandla okuba nesondlo emzimbeni.

“Iipesenti ezingama-30 zempilo yakho zisezandleni zakho, intende yesandla sakho isekwe kwinto oyifaka emlonyeni wakho, ngokusekwe kwindlela ohambisa ngayo isundu kuloluya hlobo lomthambo, kunye nendlela oyibeka ngayo emlonyeni wakho zigcine usempilweni ekukhaleni nasekukhaleni kunye nezo zinto, kwaye uzihlole ngokwasemoyeni. Iipesenti ezingama-30 zendlela oziva ngayo, unokulawula. Awunakuthini uxanduva malunga neepesenti ezingama-30? ”

“Iipesenti zam ezingama-30 kum ziipesenti ezingama-70. Ndizama ukuchaphazela zonke iinkalo zobomi bam yonke imizuzwana yosuku kwindlela endiziva ngayo. Ndijonga iimvakalelo zam. Ndijonga nabo. Ukuba ndifuna ukucamngca phakathi kwemini, ndiya kuthi. Nantoni na endinokuyenza ukunciphisa uxinzelelo kunye nokudumba, ndiza kuyenza, kwaye njengoko ndiyenza, inefuthe kubomi bam. "

“Okwangoku, ndenza iismoothies ezininzi kwaye ndiyangcangcazela. Nditya yonke imihla ukusasazeka kweprotein ngevatala, iblueberries, isipinatshi kunye nebhanana, kunye nomgubo weprotein. Oko ngesiqhelo isidlo sam sakusasa yonke imihla. Ngoku nditshintsha indlela enditya ngayo kancinci, kuba ndiza kuqala ukulayisha ngaphambili. Njengoko ufumana ngaphezulu kweminyaka yobudala engama-60, kwaye kufanelekile ukuba uyiqale le nto xa ukwiminyaka yakho yama-50, sinako konke okungalunganga kuluntu lwethu. Sitya isidlo sakusasa esimiselweyo, isidlo sasemini esiphakathi, kunye nesidlo sangokuhlwa esikhulu. Sitya okungalunganga. Sonke kufanele ukuba sidle isidlo sakusasa esikhulu kakhulu, kwaye sitye ngakumbi kusasa. Oko kubangela usuku lwakho. Isidlo sasemini esimodareyitha kunye nesidlo sangokuhlwa esincinci kakhulu, kwaye eso sidlo kufuneka sigqitywe ngaphambi kwentsimbi yesi-5: 30, 6 ngeyure, kuba kufuneka uzivumele ubuncinci iiyure ezintlanu phakathi kwexesha olityayo kunye nexesha olala ngalo. Kuza kuvumela ukutya kudlule kwikholoni yakho kwaye kuphume esiswini sakho, ke izinto ezinje ngokutya okuginyiweyo ziyeke kwaye ziqale ukuhamba. ”

Amazwi kaWilliams obulumko

Xa ebuzwa ngefilosofi yakhe yokuphila ubomi obonwabileyo nobusempilweni, uWilliams uthi: “Flip the paradigm… kudliwanondlebe lwam lwesithathu emva kokuba ndixilongiwe nge-MS, ndathi le yintsikelelo ngokwenene. Kuyintsikelelo kuba inye, izakundenza ndazi ngakumbi kunangaphambili, kuba andizukuchazwa yi-MS. Ndingaba ne-MS, i-MS ayinakuze ibe nam. Kwangelo xesha, ekupheleni kosuku, ukuba ndisebenza nzima ngenene, ndinokukwenza ngcono oku kuye nabani na ongomnye onesifo sam. Liliphi ilifa elilunge ngakumbi ukushiya ebomini kunokuba wazi ukuba uhambile, wenze ubomi babangcono kwabanye?
