I believe that I always have a choice. No matter what Im doing. No matter where I am. No matter what is happening to me. I always have a choice.
我相信我总能选择。无论我在做什么,无论我在哪里,无论我发生了什么事情。我总能选择。
Today I am sitting at my computer, speaking these words through a microphone. Although I have spent my life typing on a keyboard, I can no longer use my hands. Every day I sit at my computer speaking words instead of typing. In 2003, I was diagnosed with ALS, Lou Gehrigs Disease. Over time, this disease will weaken and finally destroy every significant muscle in my body. Ultimately, I will be unable to move, to speak, and finally, to breathe. Already, I am largely dependent upon others. So every day I review my choices.
今天我坐在我的电脑桌边,通过麦克风说了这些话。尽管一直以来我都是用键盘打字,但现在我无法再使用我的手了。现在每天我坐在电脑旁边讲话而不是打字。2003年我被症断患有肌萎缩性侧索硬化症,随着病情的进一步发展,这个病会削弱并破坏我身上的每一块肌肉组织。最终,我将无法行动,说话直至无法呼吸。现在,我的大部分行动都要依靠别人的帮助,因此每天我都在审视我的选择。
Living with ALS seems a bit like going into the witness protection program. Everything I have ever known about myself, how I look, how I act, how I interact with the world, is rapidly and radically changing. And yet, with each change, I still have choice. When I could no longer type with my hands, I knew I could give up writing entirely or go through the arduous process of learning how to use voice recognition software. Im not a young woman. This took real work. Interestingly, I write more now than ever before.
