[TMIC] Anniversary
Today, July 2, marks the five-year mark of being stricken with Transverse Myelitis. I am celebrating it by being bedridden, nursing two pressure sores. Have you ever tried lying on one side, for days at a time? It causes me to have claustrophobic anxiety attack , but it is quite necessary to avoid flap surgery :-( Have a Blessed Day, Naomi

Naomi, I really hate what you are going through.Life can get pretty rough. Have they given you any creams, etc., to rub on the sores?My aunt had pressure sores and they gave her a cream to use and it did help some. How are you at lying on your stomach?

RE: [TMIC] Anniversary
Dear Ladynotes; How difficult things are for you compared to so many others. I am much better off and count my blessings every day. I have MS, then TM; and now chronic Lyme is doing something to my brain. Probably can be easily fixed. But you are in a permanent situation of being bedridden. When I was paralyzed from the waist down for only a few months after an accident. But it gave me time to do some serious thinking since I was only 22 years old. If I hadn't had a belief that I was given a body and a life here in order to grow a soul for the next life, I would have been emotionally finished, since nothing makes sense if this is the only life. I do not know how I would handle your situation. Maybe I would not be able to follow my own best thinking, and would lose it. But I hope not. I will pray for you to have less pain and discomfort tonight and tomorrow morning at dawn.

[TMIC] July 2nd, I love this message written by Dalton.
If I hadn’t had a belief that I was given a body and a life here in order to grow a soul for the next life, I would have been emotionally finished, since nothing makes sense if this is the only life. I believe that Dalton has a very good handle on this life that all of you are dealing with and of course I especially believe its true about my darling Jim because he surely put a lot into his life and was a great example for many.So Dalton keep on doing what you are doing and Naomi you are in my prayers as are all the other valiant fighters of this disease.
