It seems not all that long ago
when this frame worked somewhat well
when it was flexible and strong
and could work all through the day and night
when it answered my demands with no complaint
little rest was needed,
no creaking, abundant energy, those were the days.

Then 30 years of life happened
car accidents and such
and everyday now is a new adventure
of careful movement, heating pads
muscle rubs and bone cracking by the doc.
****************************************
Today is quite depressing.I could not go to work
The sudden pain in my upper back brought tears to my eyes. I was dressed and ready and in my car...and just had to turn around and go home....not a good thing for a teacher...took a vicodin...have heat on it and going to the doc whenever it eases up enough for me to drive. Please pray for me. I am about ready to give up and take disability. Never thought you would hear those words come out of my mouth.

Thanks

Hugs and prayers girlie . You've done good and tried hard. I know pain gets you down fight that fight I know your a fighter. And a little rest on disability and you will find another path.

Here is a poem I found on the web. It says it all. I will add you to my prayers!
(( )) Mary ^^j^^

I AM

I am
Unable to vision the life I once had.
I am
Hopeful.
I am
Fearful I will never get that life back again.
I am
Angry.
I am
Trapped in this diseased, broken body.
I am
A Dreamer.
I am
Unable to do what I want.
I am
Sad.
I am
Living a better life in my dreams.
I am
A Visionary.
I am
An Artist who's inspiration is numbed by pain.
I am
Tired.
I am
Ready to break free before I crumble.
I am
Smart, Sick, Loving, Sick, Proud, Sick, Scared, Sick, Beautiful.
I AM.
