Journal Entry for September 23, 2008 Mood
Tuesday, September 23, 2008 | A General Update story
I've been away for awhile.I'm not doing better with my goals, my leg hurts more and more so I'm wearing it less and less. I pray alot . My daughter taking my grankids and moving to Co. has affected me more than I thought it would. Last week my brother-in-law went to the highest bridge in w. va and jumped to his death, he was 35 and leaves a 9yr. old son. That was so hard and I'm trying to be there for my sister. I guess when it rains it pours. Iam trying to stay positive.

    Sorry to hear you are suffering, I feel for you about your grandchildren leaving, also about your loss of your brother in law. Be gentle on yourself and take time for you step back a bit and regroup when the rain is too much. Joy

I  have been seeing this alot in reading but didn't know what it is. I looked it up and read about it for over 2 hrs. I was so amazed to think this might be helpful for me. I could relate to everything I read. I looked up drs. in my state and there  appears to be 3 in columbus,oh. thats only 1.5 hrs. from me and I might just go see one. Honestly I don't want any more surgery but if it could help me walk without so much pain it would be worth it. I asked my daughter to read what I did and to let me know what she thinks. I'm excited but also scared to death.As it took me 1 yr. to heal from the amputation. I had so many set backs ,I don't if I have the stength to go through it again.I will check it out further.

My protesiest brought me new gel liners,socks and a silver sock to help me not sweat . He also informed me he'll be leaving the co. hes with and that I may not see him till 09, I was assured i.c.e. to call him.I've had him since the care center right after amputation,I met him by accident he says, I don't think so. Also my next to youngest daughter had to tell me that they have to move to Denver Co. for her hubby's job. She has the only 2 grandchildren who live close to me, I will miss them terribly.The hubby drives truck for Wendy's Bakary and they want them out there in a week. This is bad and good for me, I've been trying to find a place in the nearest larger city to move to be closer to everything I need.
