Re: How are you

[Guest guest]

Good thoughts on answering.

I get so tired of people close to me asking how I am. It's like I have to

try and explain the " degree og pain " at that certain time.

Anyone know what I mean?

It makes the whole situation even more depressing, at least for me, as I'm

" asked " to grade my condition then and there, and that does not always lead

to a " happy " mental state.

Anyways - just my thoughts!

Usually when people ask me how I am, I just smile and light-heartedly say " Not

Dead Yet. "

There is an organization called " Not Dead Yet. " They have a great

accessibility/disability bumper sticker with the group logo on it. My friend in

Indianapolis has it on her scooter.
