Beautifully said, Danny. I can identify with every word you said. Waking up to renewed realization is the worst part of my day. My wife is my helper and she has developed heart problems......and all I can do is be a burden. Guilt, anger, and depression are eating me alive.

Yes Bobbie, like you I sometimes think of things we used to do but can't now...like you said, walking into a shower on your own when you want too, walking and feeling the sand on a beach or the cool grass under your bare feet, I used to get in a boat and go to out to far isolated places of beauty on a lake to fish and enjoy nature, used to love long hikes deep into wooded forests....I think of these things at times but then get back into present reality and try to enjoy what simple things in life I still can, I guess we all do.

I seems to have gotten worse for me as all these yrs have passed. I thought things got easier??? Oh well, we all seem to struggle with it so at least we are not alone. I TRY everyday to keep positive and look at what I have and not what I don't, which is allot. But it is a challenge. hang in all of us.

Every damn stinking crippled ass day. Soon as my eyes open in the morning. Pardon my French. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Gmail* <bobbiehumphre...@gmail.com <javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','bobbiehumphre...@gmail.com');>> Date: Tuesday, April 14, 2015 Subject: [QUAD-L] Showers To: quad-list@eskimo.com <javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','quad-list@eskimo.com');> I was watching a movie and the actor in the scene woke up, pushed the covers off, sat up, put her feet on the floor, stood up and walked in to the shower right after dropping off her PJ's. It took about 1 minute. I turned off the TV and tried to remember how that felt ... but I can't. I couldn't stop crying. I can't tell you how many times I've heard family or friends say "I'm going to jump in the shower." Or "I got home, I was so dirty I had to jump in the shower." I know, I know I should be over feeling like this and it not make me cry after ALL these years. So I'm asking; Does anybody else still get "up set" or "bothered" by what I described above?
