Guest guest Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Hi deborah.. I agree with you totally! I always feel better after a hot shower. I would love to relax in a tub but until I can get a tub lift..those days are over unless I want to plop myself down and yell for help after my bath. I also rest when my body tells me to. I haven't had to take any happy pills but am getting close to asking about that. I have resigned myself to the fact that eventually I will be wheelchair bound..I am 56 but like others, feel 86. My aunt has r/a and she is 87..and in a wheelchair. I pay particularly close attention to those Hoveround, Scooter Store, Invacare commercials now. "That looks like a good one and it comes in yellow too!" I know the meds and feeling good is a trade-off but I say that if I have to live my life in pain and agony, do I want to do more years of that (?) ..I don't call that being alive and enjoying life. OR do I want to feel better now and enjoy my family, friends and life. The answer is NOW. So, thank you for the good advice....it's exactly how I feel also.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 I want to live as long as I can. When it comes to life IMO another day is another chance. How I feel is a big part of my day… sometimes siphoning my time away, but another day! It’s another step to something different, maybe something new, but definitely something – A chance to improve and make things better for somebody maybe… a chance to create, to realize, to remember, to forget… Death is silence. I don’t have to wonder about that. I know it will come. Every day in life is a surprise, a challenge and a gift.

We're dying from the day we're born. For some, it will come more quickly than for others. Like my sister said the other day ... everything dies ... animals, plants, man ... even good men (and women, of course). Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
