playing volleyball on fresh cut grass. later went on the boat & crashed. never

take a scrub brush to your feet. well, i didn't get that far. what the doc's
and nurses musta thought of those dirty dark green feet, lol

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.

I hear you all and can relate, Bobbie,Larry and Shirley-- I woke up like
you said today Larry.....Oh lord another feeling bad day but gotta get up and
make do....It don't help that my wife and only caregiver suffers from awful
migraine headaches for days at a time and is now had one again for 2 straight
days, wish I could help her at times but I can't. 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. Dan H*****

same here, sometimes it takes all I have not to scream at people who
complain about the stupidest stuff or feel so sad seeing friends and strangers
do things I can't. 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.
Best,

Everyday. Every damn stinking crippled ass day. Soon as my eyes open in the
morning. Pardon my French.

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?
