I can do almost everything I used to do...I just have limitations as to time, position and medication.

There is nothing left in my life that does not have limitations due to pain, medication, strength, capacity.

I am just so very thankful that I can still do stuff. I am thankful for the smallest abilities to the greatest abilities.

HUGS!

Smile, Congrats that you can still drive that is a huge blessing.

I work with polymer clay and knit. I can also quilt. Hugs, Cathy

I can do alot of what I used to do before it is just that I cant do it as long or of course I can not jog or go on amusement rides or do alot of physical stuff but I can still do my crafting I just can do it as long as I would like.

I can still drive on good days. There's alot I can still do the most important thing is I can still take care of myself physically. I don't feel like doing alot of things but thank God I'm still alive and I can still hug my grandaughter.

Gratitude is important in all the darkness and pain that we go through daily.

Healing hugs to all

CW I miss quilting! :(

I can do a lot, just have to be really careful and no bending....or at least very little. No heavy lifting.
I make soap, crochet, & read for hobbies:)

I know what you are saying Dixie as I put my quilts on the floor to sandwich them together but it gets so hard to bend over to pin them but the kitchen table is just not big enough for me to put them on it. That is the hard part and sometimes leaning over the sewing machine for a long period of time my back will ache.

I do digital scrapbooking and I can still do that thanks to my laptop, I just lay in bed or on the couch and work away. I can do most things I did before just not for so long. I also used to quilt and getting down on the floor is bad for me, that's how I hurt my back in the first place (but gardening not quilting) so the position really sets me off. But I can still do cross stitch and 3d wool felting which is fun.

Write letters. xxxxxxx

I am with the duck. I can do most everything most of the time. Short and sweet is how it goes. Nothing for a long period of time.

What I can do is what I have. I try not to think about what I could do before.

tendons I am in agreement. That I can care for myself is a wonderful blessing.

hugs

I can listen to music really well (my younger son sings and plays guitar). I badgered him until he posted some videos on You Tube. Now I can see him and listen to him and he doesn't even have to be here to play them for me. It took so much effort to get him to do that, it was like an act of congress. But I was successful. Yea me!

Good thread.

Drive, walk and go to Dr. appts., oh well I guess walking my dog Louie is included in the walking !!!

P.S. I live alone so I have to do everything that goes into living life, but yeah not much else !

im with duck but i have do it in small slprits im grateful for that . i can still help children hugs minnie

I'm grateful today that I can sit outside in the sun and throw the ball for my chihuahua bella.

This is not a silly post. Keep it going. I think we all have something to be grateful about that we can still do it. Somedays my abilities are different depending on the level of pain I'm in.

Healing hugs to everyone.

I can still listen to music, walk really short distances, and lay down when I am on my on weeks for abx. During my off weeks I can walk, drive, go to class, read, do homework, study, and apparently catch a cold ( buhoo cold mean!!).
