• Uphengululo lwe

Ndandityebe kakhulu ixesha elininzi lobomi bam, kodwa kwathi xa ndabona iifoto zeholide yentsapho ndagqiba kwelokuba ndibutshintshe ubomi bam. Ku 5 iinyawo 7 intshi ubude, ndinobunzima obungama 240 eponti. Ndandifuna ukujonga kwaye ndizive ngcono ngam.

Ndandicinga ukuba nditye ukutya okunesondlo, kodwa andizange ndinikele ngqalelo ingako. Ndandisoloko ndisitya imifuno emininzi, kodwa ndiphekwe kwioli okanye ibhotela. Emva koko ndiye ndaqala ukufunda iilebheli kunye nokubukela ubungakanani besabelo ukugcina ikhalori yam kunye nokutya okunamafutha kusezantsi. Nditya intandokazi ezinamafutha aphezulu ngokumodareyitha endaweni yokuzifaka. Kwisithuba sonyaka, ndiphulukene neeponti ezingama-50.

Emva koko ndafika ethafeni ndaza ndagqiba kwelokuba ndiqalise ukwenza umthambo. Bendizilolonge manqaphanqapha kodwa bendingenayo nesiqhelo. Ndiye ndaqonda ukuba umthambo uzakuthetha emzimbeni njengoko ndinciphile. Ndiqale ukuhamba okanye ndikhwele ibhayisekile emileyo iintsuku ezintlanu ngeveki kangangemizuzu engama-20, ndomelele ngokwaneleyo ukuze intliziyo yam inyuke. Ubunzima baqala ukuza kwakhona.

Ndilandele inkqubela yam nge jean yesayizi ye-14. Xa ndandizithenga zazilingana, kodwa zazingonwabanga kakhulu. Xa ndafika kubunzima bam beenjongo, zilingana ngokugqibeleleyo.

Kwiminyaka emihlanu eyadlulayo, kwafunyaniswa ukuba ndine-multiple sclerosis, isifo esinganyangekiyo kwinkqubo ye-nervous system esikhokelela ekuphulukaneni nokudityaniswa kwemisipha. Ndandinama-40 eepawundi kubunzima bam obufanelekileyo ngelo xesha, kwaye ndafunda ukuba ubunzima obongezelelekileyo babunzima noxinzelelo kuba oko kwenza ukuba kube nzima ukuhamba. Ngoku bendinesizathu esibaluleke ngakumbi sokuphulukana nezo khilogram zingaphezulu. Ndaqhubeka ndibukela umlinganiselo wamafutha endiwadlayo, kodwa kwafuneka nditshintshe indlela yam yokulolonga ukuze ndihambelane nemeko yam yomzimba. Ngenxa yokulahleka kokuhamba, andikwazi ukwenza umthambo kangangoko bendifuna ngokwasemzimbeni, ndiye ndagxila kuqeqesho lwamandla okwakha izihlunu zam. Ndafikelela kubunzima bam ekujoliswe kuko ngokuthe ngcembe kwiinyanga ezintandathu.

Malunga nonyaka ophelileyo, ndafumana ubunzima, ngeli xesha njengesihlunu. Ukuqeqeshwa kwamandla kuye kwanyanzela umzimba wam kwaye kwagcina izihlunu zam zomelele, endincedileyo ukuba ndihambe ngokukhululekileyo nge-MS yam. Ndifumanise ukuba ukuqubha yeyona nto ingcono kum umzimba wonke kuba inempembelelo encinci emzimbeni wam. Ndikwimeko engcono ngoku ine-MS kunokuba ndandinayo ngaphambi kokuba ndibenayo kwaye ndinobunzima obungama-240 eepawundi.

Xa ndidibana nabantu endingazange ndibabone ixesha elide, bathi, "Uchebe iinwele zakho!" Ndiyabaxelela, ewe, ndiyenzile, kwaye ndalahlekelwa ubunzima obuninzi, nam.
