Since having my surgery my recovery has been swift. The mental and emotional aspect however has not been quite so straight forward.
Recently I have decided that I should 'top up' my life insurance - Fortunately I have life cover but this will decrease as the term goes on (this was taken before I was diagnosed in fact before I even knew about PLD so this still stands).
Anyway I have since tried many companies and to my dismay it seems this it is going to be harder to obtain than I thought.
This of course is sending me into a panic and I really don't feel good, I'm worried that, God forbid something may happen to me who will help pay the mortgage! What if my children have been passed the PLD gene what will they do? I'd go through the surgery a hundred time if it meant my kids were unaffected - obviously it doesn't work that way I know.
|It all sounds a bit dramatic but I didn't know this condition would affect my life like this - maybe I've been naive.
Also I am, every time I looked in the mirror gripped by the fear that all these cysts will come back, I check myself out from several angles trying to judge whether I look bigger, more bloated, swollen than the day before. It's exhausting.
I could go on all day about my insecurities but I will update when I learn of any insurers out there who are happy to insure those with PLD - as I have asked around and at the moment most seem to be rather reluctant. :(
