We will live our lives as a example of courage and devotion.We will win the race!
Hello all.I haven't had a lot of time to get online. I have been goig to The YMCA doing some water aerobics and lovinging it. \the others can't believe how good I am doing. I get bored on a stationary bike so now my husband and I both have bikes. It took a little practice and a few falls but I can ride again! I love it! I know I should't worry with what people say but I have been getting a lot a negaitive "feedback". I had Bell's Palsy" two month's and I still have not recovered as now. People have come up to me and say "What else is going to happen to you?. I was helping clean the church and I slipped on a wet floor. I did not even go down all the way cause I caought myself in time.I got a lecture from one lady saying I am not normal and never will be normal and that I there are some things I will never be able to do and I need to accept that."The next thing I knew everyone was coming to see if I was ok.I am diabetic and all they had was donuts and were pushing them my way I took coffee toward me. My Doctor said he was happy with my 6.0 A1c, then one lady said that my doctor should be upset with me.There is some stuff being presented that the sugar levels should be 4.5. I don't think people who havent't been sick or anyting just don't get it when it comes to any life changing episode in life. But it did hurt. Here I am being proud that I drive, ride a bike, swim, work in my little garden in addition to house work. The one lady even told my husband he should take better care of me. What gives.I want to be all I can be.Am I taking too many risks?I have long been accepting of my ampuation.My message to all who read this; Find your "limits " it is your body and know that you deserve to have a life that you can and be happy for yourself!
Sorry it took me so long to see your comment on my IPOP. I'll tell you, after a few weeks on my back and in a wheelchair, it felt wonderful to stand on my feet again! The best part, and please don't take this the wrong way, is that I was able to go to the bathroom and do #1 again standing, like a man. I felt so empowered! It felt normal! And I had been afraid that I would never really feel "normal" again.
