Thalassaemia and sports. Prove it

Thank you, Sharmin.  That was very sweet of you.   

We are all inspirations, in different ways. With your tremendous love and support, I am sure that your son will lead a very fulfilling life as well. 

Prove it, you say?

You're only talking to the Central New York Summer 1998 Reserve Champion for Class 1 Dressage (horseback riding)

Ok, my moment of smugness is done.     Heehee, I love to prove a point.

FANTASTIC!!  Am so proud of you. Never thought I'd say this, but THANKS for bragging!! 

I don't have extreme sport achievements or anything, but I have made many accomplishments.  I've been a dancer for most of my life and have won many awards, for hip-hop, tap, jazz and ballet.  I stuck with hip-hop for the most part, though.  I only stopped dancing when I was in nursing school because I couldn't handle both of them, and didn't have the time.  I am going back to dancing again soon, because I have since realized that I am miserable without it.

My nursing degree and Forensic Nursing Certification was also very hard on me physically, but I pushed myself and got through it with flying colors.  I'm also back in school now, going for my Master's in Nursing.  I'd like to eventually become a Nurse Practitioner or Nurse Anesthetist.

I also ran track in Junior High, and played Basketball throughout Middle, Junior, and some of High school.  I've also acted in many plays and sang in font of crowds. 

I love to snorkel, and want to get SCUBA certified soon.  I also love to Jet-ski and kayak.

Like I said, it's not extremely physical stuff, but they are accomplishments and some sports, nonetheless.   

WOW! That IS very impressive DAnielle. Love dancing too, but I can't dance well plus, not much time to practice. Once you get your certification for scuba diving, we can do it together! 

Hi to everybody, my brother and I(thal major both), have a karting team, play in football team too and practise a lot of sports. We haven´t got problems. We are a little tired that the others but we have more courage that most of them.

Kochi,

I'd love to hear your response to the post at http://www.thalassemiapatientsandfriends.com/index.php?topic=891.0 about intelligence in thals. I already know what you think but I think the group would like to hear your point of view.

Hi friends...
Long time no see  Teddy is 7 years old Thal. He has been joining the Karate club for 1 1/2 years very soon he will be having an exam for black belt.

He loves running up down the building and all kinds of sport like swimming, tennis, crickets....

As long as he enjoys his life. It's ok.

Just to clarify on the sports people....THEY HAVE THALASSAEMIA MINOR!!! NOT MAJOR!!!

Sure thing Boss...

By the way, I vote for a name change. Change the name of this subforum from Living with Thalassemia to


LIVING LA VIDA LOCA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

 

Sorry for my dumbness  but what does it mean 

ZAINI.

It means "living the crazy life", or "the wild life".

Thanx Andy !!

ZAINI.
