I felt like everyone would be judging me, what was I doing in one of those electric chairs? Now I don't care!!! People will think and say whatever they want, but now I can finish ALL my shopping and still have plenty of energy for the rest of my day which does include a healthy amount of stitching and crocheting!!!We are all here together for each other. It can't get any better than that. One day at a time, one stitch at a time. The only thing that could make it any better is a wonderful pot of New England strawberry shortcake coffee.

Acknowledging your limitations, keeping an open mind and positive outlook is key! While I'm quite healthy (thank you my Lord), I am 65 and notice I'm not what I once was.

It's also ok that some days you won't be able to cope with the enormity of losing your functioning body. It just is what it is, and we all drag ourselves through it as best as we can.

I am waiting to be approved for surgery right now. Please keep writing. You are the first thing I look for each morning and the last thing I look for every night. God bless you Coni.
