[QUOTE="witzend, post: 160681, member: 99"] I'm so sorry Linda. I know how difficult it is to no longer be able to do the things you used to enjoy. You must be getting very impatient. Yesterday I did a little sprucing up in the yard. I had to take Vicodin just to start so that it wouldn't hurt so bad and I could make it through. I ended up with a horribly pulled groin and tendonitis in my foot and calf. It happens more and more now, and every spring I go through the same battle, only a little worse than last year. Every year I mourn because "next year I won't be able to do this". I am recognizing that I'm missing out on life and I need to break down and get a scooter. But even that gives me a little bit of hope. If I could get a scooter and figure out how to get it in and out of the house and get some level pathways in the yard, I could go places I haven't been to again. I know that the practicalities of getting and using a scooter are a long way off. And that it's a huge move on my part to accepting that I am disabled. But it will also make a lot of my old world accessible to me again. I know it's hard to sit in bed and recover, and to work through the pain and weakness when you don't actually feel well enough to do it. Try not to be sad and to grieve for what you are missing out on. You'll find a way to enjoy those things again, or new things to enjoy. {{{{{{{{Big hugs}}}}}}}} [/QUOTE]
