Several years ago he had to switch to a walker, and now he's slowly transitioning into a wheelchair. I knew this was all going to happen, he told me, his doctor told me. I didn't know how hard it would be for me to watch. He doesn't complain, even when he falls 20 times a day, because he's too stubborn to use the wheelchair at home, and I know how much it hurts when he falls. We also have an intellectually disabled son, who helps his dad all the time. Now, just when I'm needed more and more to help him, I am having problems myself. I've been diagnosed in the last three months with degenerative arthritis everywhere, but especially my spine. I have 7 bulging discs in my lower back, I have neuropathy in my entire body and fibromyalgia is going nuts over all this pain! I was barely able to walk for 6 weeks. I do PT 4 to 5 times a week, and am having cortisone shots in my spine now, and they will move to other places as soon as they get the pain in my back under control. Do I understand your pain? Not totally, because I've always lived with it, but I can emphasize with you. Keep working on your quilting, and take care of YOURSELF!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04360427187311520300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816906549366028385.post-107872474696899112011-08-02T00:27:10.927-07:002011-08-02T00:27:10.927-07:00Moles make such an awful mess and whilst they seem...Moles make such an awful mess and whilst they seem sweet little creatures they really are not welcome. In France they are not worried about the humane side of getting rid of these pests and use explosive devices placed in the burrows. It does work but best used as a very last resort. I hope your visitors get the message soon.Sarah Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02016935730262128630noreply@blogger.com
