Thank you for taking the time and making an effort to post to my thread on 28th, Laura.
We take so much for granted.
I’m so sorry to hear you are in pain and still having difficulty getting around.
I just hope and pray that the results of your tests will lead to the discovery of a suitable treatment that will ease your discomfort and give you a better quality of life.
They say “health is wealth” but I think accepting long term ailments brings us a different kind of wealth. It makes us stronger in many ways and gives us an understanding of others’ suffering. People who have never been ill don’t know how to empathize. Maybe your husband will never gain that knowledge. It’s like gambling in many ways. Only other CGs “get it”! Trying to be patient with our own and others’ shortcomings is very draining. Try to break your days up into short “blocks” Laura. I read a suggestion on another thread on GT that stretching and breathing help. I agree with that. I know you are limited and need to “follow orders” but if you could plan to do 5 things each day within your scope it will keep your spirits up, instead of dwelling on things you cannot do.
The good news is that you are not into online gambling, Laura. Don’t ever give it a second thought.
On the days you don’t feel up to posting, don’t push yourself but even a couple of words now and then would be appreciated.
Always in my thoughts and prayers Laura.
Better days ahead, hopefully!
