I thought I would share some good news as mostly what I share is bad.
I was at home one evening & it was raining my Hubby said I should spend the night.
I did not as you need a doc's order to be able to.
but for several reasons I can do it now.
Most importantly I can transfer myself without the use of a lift.
I am in a program that funds my care & I talked to them & they will release part of my funds so I can get the care I need on the weekends. So I am going to hire someone for the weekends.
Once I do my doc said he will let me go home for weekends.
I think that will be great.
I have not spent a night at home in over a yr. So I miss it terribly
This is something good to work towards.
I am also able to think a bit more clearly & my hands are working a bit better. Stronger then they were. I can now crochet & I am making a lap blanket to use in my wheelchair. I have also found a lost hobby one I truly love. Counted cross stitch. I did a small one a couple of weeks ago. I ordered a bigger one it should have 40-60 colors and it 18"x9" & 14 count (14 stitches / inch) so it will take months to do. I now have the concentration to do it & the hand eye coordination to do it.
So that is my good news

Usually I get a daily influx of emails on health topics. An article from Dr. Mercola really stood out recently though because it mentioned that fat cells have their own mitochondria. Not only was this the first I'd heard of this, he also mentioned that fat serves a purpose in our metabolism. Another new factoid for me. The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital. I don't think that we will have her much longer. She is very frail. Now she needs help eating. So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying. I think crying releases toxins into my body. I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
Very happy for you
Thanks for sharing
