Guest guest Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 I agree totally. I see people getting down on one knee or able to sit on the floor and get up. I think, I used to be able to do that. Just the little things. Wish I couldget down on the floor and get back up. I go to my drs office and couldn't turn the handle on the exam room door..had to wait for someone to see if I was okay. Now, i carry a coated type material to help me turn doorknobs. Sometimes I wonder if I am going to be able to get out. Can't carry much anymore....forget the brown grocery bags.Or the gallon of milk.Now,my fiance goes to the store for me. I can't reach things on the top shelf and if I can...bombs away when I try to bring it down to the cart. It's hard for people to understand...and trying to turn my deformed hands for change.....forget it. No can do. Finding clothes that aren't a hassle to put on..... wearing ugly shoes cause the pretty ones are out. I get soooo frustrated and my attitude changes. It can be depressing and you try not to let it get to you but in my head I am thinking..yikes...I'm 56 and I feel 86...how am I going to be in 10 more years...?? What kind of life is this? I worry that I will fall...since my balance is worse than ever. I hate to go anywhere by myself sometimes.The car is getting harder to turn and to put in park or drive. We're allowed to be upset with what we're going thru..who wouldn't? So, vent away all you want cause we understand completely.
