One of the positives from having myeloma is I found my ears!
Before myeloma I was a typical male, didn’t listen, wouldn’t listen, too busy too listen.
As my daughter used to say, “Dad, your ears are painted on”. Though I wouldn’t admit it, she was right.
Being diagnosed with myeloma, learning about myeloma and going through initial treatment I had to gain knowledge by listening to and trusting others. This is when I had to stop, shut up and listen. Good things happened when I learnt to listen.
I realised that the 2 lugs on the side of my head had another purpose other than holding my glasses on, they are a listening device. When I stopped and listened people made sense.
Learning to listen has been one of my survival skills.
