WHAT'S YOUR STORY?



Thomas's "extra life" Inspires Me

Kampala, Uganda
Charity: Uganda Rheumatic Heart Disease Registry
Medical Condition: Damaged heart valves due to Rheumatic Heart Disease
Medical Therapy: Heart valves

At just 16 years old, Thomas received a double valve replacement as a result of severe rheumatic heart disease (RHD). Many of his fellow Ugandans with RHD, however, do not receive this life-saving treatment. Thomas, who is now a cardiologist, began working with Uganda Rheumatic Heart Disease Registry to raise awareness about RHD and inspire others to take care of their hearts. With the patient support branch of the organization, Thomas encourages people with RHD to visit their physicians regularly and take the medicine they need to live a healthy life.

Thomas's Story
“I have rheumatic heart disease and had a double valve replacement. Because I have metal valves, I have to regularly take Coumadin. That requires a lot of attention and it has made me look out for other patients with a similar condition. My treatment was a miracle and allows me to live a healthy, normal life. I want others to have this type of access to care.
“Because I consider myself lucky, I offer myself to my community. I hope to bring awareness to others with rheumatic heart disease and use my condition as an example. I encourage other patients to take the medicine they need and visit their doctors regularly in order to live a healthy life.
“With the Uganda Rheumatic Heart Disease Registry at the Uganda Heart Institute, I use my extra life to support patients with rheumatic heart disease by helping open avenues for access to care they need. We support patients so they stay compliant with life-saving medications.
“An RHD diagnosis doesn’t have to be the end of your life.“

Thomas's words of inspiration
Treatment is a miracle that allows you to live a normal and productive life.
Thomas believes the treatment he received for rheumatic heart disease is a miracle that has given him health and strength. He hopes others, especially in Uganda, will have access to the care they need.

" You are worth living because of lives yet to be touched by you"
- Princewill Iliya
I see everyday as a gift, an opportunity to make a great story to be told one day, acknowledging that every life has no meaning without making someone life meaningful.
The question is will you be inspired by reading your story afterlife?

THE ENEMY WITHIN

Emotional intelligence  The world consists of different people from different places, with different personalities, traits and makeup. With only one main common ground which is the earth in which we habit on and due to these differences in diverse people,  co-habiting and condoning becomes difficult some times or rather most times in this world with other people. Differences creates lack of oneness, lack of understanding and anger becomes inevitable. People tend to flare up towards others.  https://pirevolution.blogspot.com/2019/05/the-enemy-within.html?m=1 Physical effects of anger Anger triggers the body’s ‘fight or flight’ response. Other emotions that trigger this response include fear, excitement and anxiety.

MARRIAGE A BED OF ROSES OR A BED OF THORNS

MARRIAGE A BED OF ROSES OR A BED OF THORNS Marriage a bed of roses or a bed of thorns  Marriage is a beautiful thing, it is an institution built on love and affection first before any other virtue.  In life, you don't get to choose your parents, siblings, relatives and even children but marriage gives you that opportunity to choose someone you want to spend the rest of your life with, based on love. Since the foundation of marriage is love (which means that you have an affection for each other)it should be a bed of roses which requires serious preparation. Most prepare for the ceremony and channel their energy, time and finances to the occasion which when covered or well taken care, they believe they are prepared for marriage. I'm particular about the neglected preparation which makes marriage a bed of roses.  These are: * Emotional preparedness: Study emotional intelligence. * Mental preparedness: Have a positive and right mindset about marriage. * Physical prepa
