My Answer David,
I love to do hobbies I am such a hobby person I embroider, I quilt, sew, scrapebook anything crafty. Now this is of course besides my family this is just me my personal things.
I have pets which keep my sane, I watch my 4 year old niece she lives with us her and her mom which keeps me young and one my toes. Nothing can make you truly laugh like a 4 year old innocence, and antics.

I used to be a Restaurant general manager and did alot of work in the kitchen for 20 years so when I went on disability I really wanted nothing to do with cooking because it did bring up some sadness and only did it because I had to but lately I have been in the kitchen baking and cooking with a new enthusiasm.

Hi ya all, I'm feeling hopeful,loved and relieved. Thank you all for your prayers, we will never fully know (in this lifetime) just the difference they have made./ in way od dealing w/pain, I've been eating well,fresh fruits/vegs. eliminating fats,processed foods,etc. i'm sure you get the point. Find when i do this it definitly helps ALOT to decrease inflammation which is something that triggers the nerve pain or at the very least aggavates it. also waiting to hear back from laser spinal institute on tx. for back probs. Hope your'e having a good day w/minimal pain. love & prayers to all, vicky

Hey all my friends,
I have today off from work so I'll be out running errands with my wife. Going out for lunch, Walmart, & Best Buy. We're thinking of getting one of those wii game systems. I know we're a bit behind the times, but I think it will be fun.

I can't wait to see the surgeon on Thursday regarding the SCS implant, pain levels have been high. This is w/c related, so stress may be a contributing factor.

I want to thank everyone for their support, and who would have known, over 200. I love you guys and please keep coming back.

It's time to see some more lookers come out and say hey.

David.

Isn't it nice to know we are all connected?????????? Pretty darn awsome I'd say! Thanks David for this post and innitiating(sp.) it and all of you who participate. best wishes to all for a very blessed day. vicky

I would like to be part of this family also. I'm headed to court today To evict two tenants. Everything is amicable and they do plan to make payment arrangements. I'm writing because the courthouse doors are difficult to open. As a CP person. We look so normal And often when I ask someone to open the door. They give me a double take. So sometimes I hang around the door and wait for someone to go through and then I piggybacked behind them. The other day I had what looked like an 80-year-old woman open the door for me.
Sigh
hugs to everybody, we are in this together

I'm having a hard day emotionally today. I just feel so out of control. Physically, emotionally, financially, nothing is coming together I'm sensing that the closer I'm getting to seeing both shoulder surgeons the worse it's going to be.
This sounds horrible to write but I want to proceed with the chronic shoulder fix and put the hysterectomy on hold. Is it awful to delay something that might be life threatening until I know that I'm going to be able to get the pain gone that has been killing my life. These thoughts are a little scary and probably the reason for my increased anxiety. I'm going to find a new psych counselor ASAP.
I honestly just answered this as I was typing. Thank you DS/CP!

Boy I tell you what this Chronic Pain is a taker. Vicky, you are a blessing.

Deputy, thanks for coming by. Make a habit of it. You're a hoot.

Hank, you are part of our family and always have been. Now if you don't come back, I'll have to come looking for you.

Terry, Hang in there. We're here for you.

Gaye, Marg, and Manny.........the glue.

Please come back at time, all of you. If I've left anyone out, still let it be known that this group is a lifesaver.

Thanks,
David.
