‘You mustn’t give up hope, you must be stoic, you must be strong and you must always try and batter the door down to try and improve things – Elton John

Elton John is going blind after a bad eye infection back in 2024. I hadn’t heard about it. As I’m reading the Daily Mail story online I am struck by the wisdom of this quote Elton made.

I totally get his words. Even if my own words may not articulate so powerfully they concur. Elton’s words are right on the money. 

Elton’s words may have been fashioned for The Daily Mail but as a person that has dealt with my own health condition for many years I think I’ll take this quote on board.

Now where can I buy a battering ram?
