Re: looking good on the outside

Hello Cyndi

I can relate to your story. While I don't use a cane, I do wear orthotics, and

have been through 4 major surgeries. When people actually hear my story, they

are shocked, since I am still very active physically. My friends always ask why

I don't use the handicapped parking spots, and I tell them it is for those that

are handicapped!

Marck,

Yeah, my best friend for 25 yrs catches herself saying " hey let's go do ....

something she knows I can't do and she says it is because she doesn't think of

me as having a problem because I never complain and only say " I can't " when I

REALLY can't.   It is hard for people to see that we look somewhat normal but

can't do something as simple as open a safety pin or use a clothes pin or better

yet walk down a steep driveway. Yikes!
