I’ve written about the bravery of Trudy Lapinskis before. Well tomorrow tonight, those living in the East will be able to hear her courageous story on BBC1’s “Inside Out” programme at 7.30pm.
I spoke to Trudy this week and for the first time I have known her, she admitted to being in pain following a recent operation, yet she still hardly complains, despite the disfigurement caused by reflex sympathy dystrophy, believed to be the worst case of its kind in the country.
I’ve never heard her ask “why me?” Her sole aim is to raise awareness about her unusual condition so others do not suffer the same way. Her story deserves to be heard, she is an incredibly brave and selfless woman, an inspiration to us all.
I have a blood disorder.
I see people like this as an inspiration to me.
This morning I passed a bike rider who had only one leg and was racing a bike.. HE too was an inspiration.
” I used to complain about my shoes, until i saw a man without feet”
She is amazing..
I remember your previous post about Trudy, Ellee. What a brave woman. I’m so sorry I won’t be able to see the programme here. My heart goes out to her and I wish her all the best.
Hi Ellee, Many thanks for the heads up about the programme…reflex sympathy dystrophy is something which does warrant more coverage. All the best. Michelle. P.S. I would love your feedback on the article I’ve posted today, if you get a moment. Thanks.
Good piece Ellee, and I liked Simon’s post as well. I always say to my children there are people who are worse off, but these days it can be hard to get the message across that most of us have it fairly easy.
Poor woman .Sometimes when you bare just going about your life you just stop for a moment anmd feel a connection to someone distant. I felt that way when I saw the picture of the 15 year old boy shot in his house and I do with Trudy . she looks so..normal.
I ask “Why me” when the computer plays up.
Hello Ellee; this was a good post that highlights a woman’s determination and courage.
