Todd,

A wheeled walker is a wonder for unloading/loading a dishwasher.  Heck, I use 
mine for laundry, setting and clearing the table, all kinds of stuff.  If you 
can use one, it's an awesome tool.

Hugs, Barbara A

Hey Rob,

Remember that you're working too. 

Include the time you're at work walking, standing,  etc... 

I do PT twice a week with a trainer at home and now able to stand long enough 
to take the dishes from the sink to fill the dishwasher.  I still can't carry 
dishes into the kitchen, but now at least I can help fill the dishwasher. lol

I have found that sometime I need a new PT for new exercises  and new ideals. 

Keep up the exercises,

Todd in CC, TX

    I refuse to even discuss the petty arguments and disagreements that 
seem to happens several times a year. To discuss them actually provides 
legitimacy to the discussion. Stop being so quick to argue and remember the 
purpose of the list. No one needs to take sides….if what is written does not 
apply or offers words you
 do not care for…just delete it!

    Do you ever think of how a new visitor to the site reacts to 
bickering….my guess is it turns them off…and that is a tragedy! If one member 
has a problem with what someone else says. why not try to just contact that 
person directly and not to the group as a whole. Remember we are all in this 
together and inevitably when these things occur the next thing that happens is 
we see the word unsubscribe. When one is in 24/7 pain and discomfort it is 
easy to pick a fight or disagreement…anything at all to avoid what is really 
the problem. TM

New topic: Exercise

    Exercise….when is enough enough?

    I tend to exercise in spurts….I am either following a regular routine 
or giving into my pain and discomfort and doing nothing at all!  I am not very 
good at knowing when I am overdoing it and therefore make the same mistakes 
over and over. After pretty much doing nothing for the past 6 months I am now 
back to swimming 3-4 times per week and I have never felt worse. My legs feel 
weighed down and I am walking far worse than normal. The level of discomfort 
and Pain are also off my charts. So what do I do….probably stop exercising and 
see if my legs feel better….that being said we have had horribly huimid,wet 
weather in the New York area the entire month of June…so I am not certain if
the over exercising or the weather is making the TM flare up. Even after 12 
years I have not really learned to listen to my body….part of this is due to 
the fact that I am not in discomfort while exercising….but hours later it is as 
if my body is just realizing I over did it and I have to pay the price.

    My main exercise is swimming (and a little treadmill)….for the first 10 
years of TM I had far fewer breaks from the exercise routine …and then all of a 
sudden when I hit 60 I kinda gave up and threw in the towel….I kinda just quit. 
I felt hopeless and helpless…therefore I just started back on my routine…and so 
far the pain far outweighs the gain.

    I will attempt to introduce moderation to my exercise and try to 
remember I am closing in on 62 so I would guess non related TM problems are 
beginning to surface such as arthritis. I still have a lot on my plate…I drive 
80 miles a day to work and sometimes I am just so exhausted that the thought of 
a workout is something I cannot handle. That being said I do find that when I 
let myself get out of shape and gain addl. Weight I always feel worse…and I can 
assure you that this is not a vanity issue.

    I would appreciate hearing from the group as to what exercises works 
for them…how do you know when you are over doing it? I am seeing Dr. Kerr 
on20Weds and will pose the question to him…I have a feeling he will stress 
moderation and developing a routine that will keep my muscles from atrophying 
while a t the same time not exhausting me to the point of pain.

    OK…enough for now…let's get back on topic!

I also started doing arts since TM. It comes with periods, sometimes a year 
nothing and then a few paintings in a short period. I started small but at the 
end I tried some larger ones, and it is nice to do. But there is one problem 
with kids who has to decorate there new homes, since they are one there own, 
some paintings, especially the larger ones are all confiscated by the kids. I 
am proud fo it ofcourse, luckely I still have the pictures.  The two i send you 
are the largest ones, 80 x 100cm (32 x 40 inch).
 
I copied them from photo's of the internet. They are both original from Evard 
Munch. Both were been stolen out of the Swedisch museum and found back 5 years 
later. But I had nothing to do with that, they are named The Madonna and The 
Cry.

 

Tanks to Jim, who told me that the pictures and mails ate limited to 40k, I 
send them in two separate  mails. Think I send you more, in the mail what it 
is, most of them are from pictures or photo's, with the help of a photo

Red  Shirt

If  the red shirt thing is new to you, read below  how it went for a  man...

Last  week, while traveling to  Chicago on business, I  noticed a Marine 
sergeant  traveling with a  folded flag, but did not put two and  two  
together. 

After we boarded our flight, I  turned to the sergeant, who'd been invited 
to  sit in First Class (across from me), and  inquired if he was heading 
home.

No, he  responded.
Heading out I asked? 

No.  I'm escorting a soldier home.

Going to  pick him up?

No. He is with me right now.  He was killed in Iraq , I'm taking him home 
to  his family. 

The realization of what he  had been asked to do hit me like a punch to the 
 gut. It was an honor for him. He told me that,  although he didn't know 
the soldier, he had  delivered the news of his passing to the  soldier's 
family and felt as if he knew them  after many conversations in so few days.  

I turned back to him, extended my hand,  and said, Thank you Thank you for 
doing what  you  do so my family and I can do what we do.  

Upon  landing in Chicago the pilot  stopped short of the gate  and made the 
following  announcement over the intercom.  

Ladies  and gentlemen, I would like to note  that we have  had the honor 
of having Sergeant Steeley  of the  United States Marine Corps join us on 
this  flight He is escorting a fallen comrade back  home to his family. I ask 
that you please remain  in your seats when we open the forward door to  allow 
Sergeant Steeley to deplane and receive  his fellow soldier. We will then 
turn off the  seat belt sign.

Without a sound, all  went as requested. I noticed the sergeant  saluting 
the casket as it was brought off the  plane, and his action made me realize 
that I am  proud to be an American. 

So here's a  public Thank You to our military Men and Women  for what you 
do so we can live the way we  do.

Red Fridays.

Very soon, you  will see a great many people wearing Red every  Friday. The 
reason? Americans who support our  troops used to be called the silent 
majority.  We are no longer silent, and are voicing our  love for God, country 
and home in record  breaking numbers. We are not organized,  boisterous or 
overbearing. 

Many  Americans, like you, me and all our friends,  simply want to 
recognize that the vast majority  of America supports our troops. Our idea of  
showing solidarity and support for our troops  with dignity and respect starts 
this Friday --  and continues each and every Friday until the  troops all come 
home, sending a deafening  message that ... Every red-blooded American who  
supports our men and women a far, will wear  something red. 

By word of mouth, press,  TV -- let's make the United States on every  
Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming  football game in the bleachers. If 
every one of  us who loves this country will share this with  acquaintances, 
coworkers, friends, and family,  it will not be long before the USA is 
covered in  RED and it will let our troops know the once  silent majority is 
on 
their side more than  ever, certainly more than the media lets  on.

The first thing a soldier says when  asked What can we do to make things 
better for  you? is. We need your support and your  prayers. Let's get the 
word out and lead with  class and dignity, by example, and wear  something 
red every Friday.

IF YOU AGREE  -- THEN SEND THIS ON.

IF  YOU COULDN'T CARE LESS -- THEN  HIT THE DELETE  BUTTON

  Jude,

  First of all, I never said I PREFER the paraplegic/quadriplegic 
site. I said I IDENTIFY more. I feel as though I offended you by saying this. 
There are issues and concerns of being a quad they are not addressed in the TM 
site and I would imagine it's because most people on this site are not 
quadriplegics. I go where I can find the information that helps me. If I did 
not want to be on this site, I could simply delete it from my contacts. There 
is nothing holding me back. I have asked questions on here regarding autonomic 
dysflexia, only to have no one respond. Because I later found out that it's a 
medical condition for quadriplegics, so I went to the paraplegic/quadriplegic 
site to get the answers I needed. I'm sure Jim uses these sites, HE CREATED 
THEM! Where is his hostility?? He knew that there would be a need for 
additional information, and that's all it is, is additional information.

  I have been a member of this site, since I came home from the 
hospital in 2006, but I am always looking for any and all information that 
could be of help to me (as I'm sure all of us would be). There are people that 
use this site that are also members on the Yahoo Transverse Myelitis site. 
Should they just pick one or the other.

  I have met many people through this site, one who has become my 
best friend who has TM. I would not trade that for anything, but your e-mail 
makes me feel as though I am unwelcomed or a traitor of sorts. This brings me 
to tears. As I have poured my heart out on this site (reluctant to make my 
personal problems public), but felt comfortable enough to share with others who 
are, also suffering with relationship problems, pain and depression. That won't

Then what is holding you back?  Why don't you simply quit 
this site and use the other one that you say you prefer?  What's the big deal?

 *Red  Shirt

 If  the red shirt thing is new to you, read below  how it went for a man...

 Last  week, while traveling to Chicago on business, I  noticed a Marine
 sergeant traveling with a  folded flag, but did not put two and two
  together.

 After we boarded our flight, I  turned to the sergeant, who'd been invited
 to  sit in First Class (across from me), and  inquired if he was heading
 home.

 No, he  responded.
 Heading out I asked?

 No.  I'm escorting a soldier home.

 Going to  pick him up?

 No. He is with me right now.  He was killed in Iraq , I'm taking him home
 to  his family.

 The realization of what he  had been asked to do hit me like a punch to the
  gut. It was an honor for him. He told me that,  although he didn't know the
 soldier, he had  delivered the news of his passing to the  soldier's family
 and felt as if he knew them  after many conversations in so few days.

 I turned back to him, extended my hand,  and said, Thank you Thank you for
 doing what  you do so my family and I can do what we do.

 Upon landing in Chicago the pilot  stopped short of the gate and made the
 following  announcement over the intercom.

 Ladies  and gentlemen, I would like to note that we have  had the honor of
 having Sergeant Steeley of the  United States Marine Corps join us on this
  flight He is escorting a fallen comrade back  home to his family. I ask
 that you please remain  in your seats when we open the forward door to
  allow Sergeant Steeley to deplane and receive  his fellow soldier. We will
 then turn off the  seat belt sign.

 Without a sound, all  went as requested. I noticed the sergeant  saluting
 the casket as it was brought off the  plane, and his action made me realize
 that I am  proud to be an American.

 So here's a  public Thank You to our military Men and Women  for what you
 do so we can live the way we  do.

 Red Fridays.

 Very soon, you  will see a great many people wearing Red every  Friday. The
 reason? Americans who support our  troops used to be called the silent
 majority.  We are no longer silent, and are voicing our  love for God,
 country and home in record  breaking numbers. We are not organized,
  boisterous or overbearing.

 Many  Americans, like you, me and all our friends,  simply want to
 recognize that the vast majority  of America supports our troops. Our idea
 of  showing solidarity and support for our troops  with dignity and respect
 starts this Friday --  and continues each and every Friday until the  troops
 all come home, sending a deafening  message that ... Every red-blooded
 American who  supports our men and women a far, will wear  something red.

 By word of mouth, press,  TV -- let's make the United States on every
  Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming  football game in the bleachers.
 If every one of  us who loves this country will share this with
  acquaintances, coworkers, friends, and family,  it will not be long before
 the USA is covered in  RED and it will let our troops know the once
  silent majority is on their side more than  ever, certainly more than the
 media lets  on.

 The first thing a soldier says when  asked What can we do to make things
 better for  you? is. We need your support and your  prayers. Let's get
 the word out and lead with  class and dignity, by example, and wear
  something red every Friday.

 IF YOU AGREE  -- THEN SEND THIS ON.

 IF  YOU COULDN'T CARE LESS -- THEN HIT THE DELETE  BUTTON

[TMIC] Class Reunions

2009-07-01 Thread Janice
I have another question for you all that want to answer:

I will be having another class reunion shortly and graduating from the hometown 
high school, I was usually one of about 15 that
helped to plan it.We had around 500 in our graduating class.Anyway, I 
am debating whether or not to be a part of the
planning or even attending the reunion.This is the first reunion since I 
got clobbered with TM.  I still have to use a cane and 
would maybe need my wheelchair.I was fairly well known and I am afraid I 
would be answering questions all nite about TM. My question is:
 Would you let TM keep you from attending a reunion?Be honest.   If you 
were faced with this decision this weekend,
what would you do?
