Stop and think about how family, friends, coworkers handle your D. What can we do (education from us, newspapers, walks, blogs, facebook???) to help people understand?
Ideas? Something new?
I just had my 50 year anniversary and thought I should be a headline in at least the Metro section (OK narcissistic), but why not? It is a huge success.
Is there a more potent way to educate?
From Shawnmaire in another thread: It occurred to me last night that people might relate if I asked them to imagine that their body no longer controlled its own temperature. They were now responsible for their own temperature regulation 24 hours a day and if they didn't keep within a specific range, they could be doing long term damage to their body. That example might make them think a little more deeply about what a constant thing D is, but I don't know that it would still get to the heart of the matter, which lead me back to my thought that I want to let go of the hopeless quest for understanding
