Sending love and prayers, stay strong

Life is a knock down, drag out fight some times. Something you see or do sometimes just does not make sense. However, to get knocked and get back up is a sign of strength and fortitude as well as a powerful okay to courage. I echo the sentiments of many of the other Minglers here!! Prayers for dignity and strength work wonders!! Keep on keepin on and you will come back!!!

Good to hear you are doing better! Sending prayers things just get better and better.

Hi Pam. I know how you feel. I've had a rough year myself. For some reason, I'm still hanging on. Every step that I take, it seems that I get pushed 2 steps back, but I keep trying.I decided to live my life for me, not my son or his wife and if they don't like it. I don't care anymore. The Mingle Family has always been here for me and My friends on Facebook and the rest of my family. Just hang in there.

Still sending you good vibes girl.

Keep them muscles and joints moving through their paces if you have to get some help to do it. Or make your hands make your leg do what it needs to do. Eat and take care of yourself on bad days or good. Don't let the doctor give you any crap about giving you the equipment you need to be most active that you can be. Using equipment is only a tool that will make you stronger if you use it wisely. Getting out in public the first time is hard but if you make friends at an Independent Living Center you will get tougher quicker. Like training in anything new to you the experience of peers is useful. Weather short or long term.

Thanks again everyone I'm having good and bad days getting out is always a chore but I did manage to get to my sons for thanksgiving. I am trying Joyce to still do the exercises they gave me at pt but it's hard. I go this coming week for the spinal tap so will keep you posted. Thanks again, love u all

Well I hope you can enjoy your thanksgiving.
Do keep us posted and we'll be thinking about
you in the up coming week to come.
All my best to the US of America from Canada of
American on this Thanksgiving.
Jamie

you are such a bright spot on here! all of the best to you...

may your good words and thoughts come back around to help you now :)

I have seen your strength and your sadness, when times pull you down look at those pretty babies of yours and take a deep breathe or two, and remember how deeply they love you... Hugs to you (Pam ) blessings..
Love and strength.

Well this just really blows not the neourogist calls today and says he has to discuss with my primary wether they can do the spinal tap because I'm on Coumadin and have only been on it since April from two large dvts so they don't know now if I should wait for the test. Well my heads been racing for two weeks now wondering when I'm going to get it done

Oh hang sorry to hear you are having to wait for the test. So much stress. Maybe this will justify a different test with less invasive procedure. Will hope what ever your Doctors decide is resolved quickly. Hang in there Dear one. Keeping you in prayers.
