maybe suffering is a way of life

Bobby

Yes, I think suffering is a way of life.

Some times people need to suffer to figure out how to live life.
I'm specifically talking about my son Dan right now.
He has had so much trouble living life not suffering, in some
way. Like probation is a part of his life. And personally I think
at this point if he doesn't have probation, he wouldn't know
what to do. I'm hoping as time comes he figures out how to
live life without being on probation.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

does he believe in God?

Bobby

He used to. That isn't something i can say for now.

He honestly needs to start by not doing things he knows
is a probation violation. But he is finally trying and
learning. Just takes time.
Donna

maybe if he read the psalms that would help him with his suffering. so much is about suffering.

I can't get physical therapy but probably can get occupational therapy

only slept three hours last nite

Bobby

I'm glad that you slept some, even if not enough.

I have to admit I think I slept about 4 or 5 hours last night.
Just couldn't fall asleep. But enjoyed laying in the bed.

Donna, I can really sympathize with Dan. The first time I was in the hospital, I left too early (did it the 2nd time too), and it was like I had to relearn everything because major episodes can really f- you up. It takes time, and a lot of tweaking of meds to get back to baseline...
I'm happy that he has the probation to motivate him to do some of the things he needs to do to help him get back on track. He may not be 100% right now, but he just need some time to recover from that bad episode :hug::hug::hug:

I'm sorry that you aren't well sleeping, Bobby. 3 hours a night is not enough... it's terrible. I wish the new sleep med had helped you :hug::hug::hug:

I hate the medicare rules about PT. I had to stop my pool PT because I had exhausted my limit for a certain period. The PT said it may be a good thing because you never know what's going to happen with MS, and unfortunately, she's right. I still have some sessions left for later this year I guess. I really don't understand the rules. They're stupid.

There are some things that an occupational therapist can do for you to help, so you will not be left SOL :hug:
