Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 reply below. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN, YES I HAVE A TIME OF IT. I HAVE A WHEELCHAIR NOW THAT HELPS ALOT. I HAVE RA, FM AND NEUROPATHIC PAIN, OF THE 3 - THEY COMPETE WITH EACH OTHER, I DO NOT KNOW WHICH IS WORSE, I WENT ON DISABILITY AFTER A BIG STRUGGLE TO GET BACK TO WORK. : What kind of work did you do? Do you miss it? WHEN I CAN'T EVEN OPEN MAYO JAR OR SIT FOR 10 MINUTES, I KNEW I HAD TO ADMIT DEFEAT. I AM NOT ALLOWED TO DRIVE EITHER. I REALLY MISS THAT, I WORKED WITH MY HUSBAND ON A CERTIFIED SEED POTATO FARM AND I KNOW IT WAS NOT A CHIC JOB, BUT I LOVED IT. I MISS IT. I HATE THE PAIN OF THESE DISEASE BUT I HAVE CHOSEN TO ACCEPT IT AND I HAVE FOUND SOME OF THE GOOD IS COMING OUT OF THIS. THINGS I NEVER APPRECIATED BEFORE, BECAUSE I WAS IN TOO BIG OF A HURRY, NEGLECTFUL COMPASSION TOWARD OTHERS, BECUASE I HAD TOO MUCH WORK TO DO. MY LIFE HAS BECOME MORE INWARD - TRYING TO MAKE MYSELF A BETTER PERSON, AND LESS HOW MUCH MONEY DID WE MAKE THIS WEEK, AND WHAT S0 AND SO IS DOING UP THE ROAD. PLUS, I HAVE MORE TIME TO DO MY FAVORITE THING IN THE WORLD AND THAT IS READ, WITHOUT HAVING TO SNEAK AND BE UP HALF THE NIGHT WITH A LITTLE LIGHT AND THEN TIRED ALL THE NEXT DAY. I NOTICED YOU HAVE CHARTER.NET ARE YOU BY ANY CHANCE FROM WISCONSIN? : No. I live in Georgia. We moved back to my hometown when I became too ill to work. You answered my question about what kind of work you did and it you miss it. What books do you read? Are you ever out of pain? Does the computer help? THANKS AGAIN, CINDI, YOUR CONCERN WILL BE REMEMBERED ALWAYS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
