Re: Re: RA- How long have any of you been able to work after a diagnosis?/LYNN

[Guest guest]

Thank you for accepting my apolgy. WhenI was psychology minor in college I

came across a type of therapy call Geshtalt. I made the mistake of sharing it

with my stoic old world eouropean moth who took it and ran with it. She is

still very vocal in my life and mow that I have to listen to her rantings

derived from her early Alzheimers, I get to hear more than my share of that type

of thera[y. I guess growing up hearing it has actually enabled me to be

motivated by it's harshness. That was what drove my response.

In taking your advice I will try not to share that harshness with anyone on this

board in the future. I will keep it to myself. I guess I have not been a

member long enough to know that this group prefers a more compasioate response.

Again I do apologize and hope that we can continue to share together on this

board for years to come.

I guess I'm Mr. Insensitivity, but I don't see a problem with Lynn's words.

When we have something to do, we do have to " suck it up " , or wait for

someone else to do it for us. I wasn't made that way, so I always " suck it

up " and get-r-dun! If I weren't laid off because of my 'disability I don't

have' 25 years ago, I'd still be working and have a sizeable nest-egg for

our retirement years. As it is, I'm stuck with having to watch the world go

by because our society won't let is " suck it up. Why should I have a

problem with her comments?
