    Since we've moved (a little more than a year ago), I've been without a local social network.  I miss having friends and I really have tried here.  Since I can only work part-time, I don't have a built in network and the neighbors keep to themselves.  This makes me sad.

  • second leg

    Sunday, September 14, 2008 | A Sad story

I haven't been to therapy in two weeks and I'm worried I'll lose all the progress I've made so far. I won't tell the therapist this, but I really miss therapy. It felt really good to be up and walking again....I miss it.
    The phantom pain isn't much better despit...
