I attempted the 3 mile hike today but it was SOOO busy that we opted for a walk around the lake instead. Bought a house today too, a cute little three bedroom brick on a 1\4 acre. Probably close in June when all the electrical and plumbing have been upgraded from 1954 to today I slacked off today so I am hunkered down with my laptop and wings trying to get 8 hours of billable time in....LOL |

Sorry that I have been AWOL.
Earlier this month a big tree fell down at the top of my property, destroying my power line (it produced a big blue flash which excited my neighbours). That took a day to fix. It also destroyed my phone line (= no ADSL2+ = no Internet). This took longer to fix. SecondChances and Icehouse - it is good to read that you are both doing well .

When in prison and living on the streets did you ever even dare to dream about a house? I am so very proud of you. A true success story!

Yes Icehouse, I remember your story, having had so much only to have lost it all for a time. Congrats on your new home, job and life.

I am doing remarkably well. I just went out to the food store and hardly gave my PN a thought. Then I remembered posting how months back I was at the store and had to leave a nearly full cart because I knew my legs would never last through checkout. I was soooo discouraged that I could have cried. Yes, I am much improved though I still have a long way to go.
Beautiful day here. After a very long winter it is good to see the sunshine and a 70 degree day. Enjoy. |

Usually when I feel as if I am improving there is a slide backwards but I have continued to hold onto the progress. All in all I believe I have made perhaps a 20% improvement, or maybe more. Most has just happened over the last few weeks. I have made no changes and the only thing I can attribute it to is time, patience and this forum for encouragement.
One note in clarification,....I had posted awhile back that I started Metformin for my high glucose levels but I did not continue with the meds and so that has not been a factor in the improvement. I am very optimistic and for the first time in a very long time I believe I might still salvage my limbs and a life. I am hopeful and grateful for all the small signs of improvement. Just now I was outside for that morning smoke and I remembered posting here that one morning my legs completely gave away and I slowly sank down to the ground. I remember several mornings after that dang morning smoke that I stumbled or crawled inside to fall into the sofa. I have had none of that in weeks. For any newcomers that might be reading here, what has helped me much is keeping a PN journal and writing down some random notes here and there. The mind forgets and the process is very long and slow. It is only by reading back that I can realize how far I have come and this journal has been a helpful tool in keeping me sober and giving me hope. Give it a try! Best regards to all my friends here and thanks for letting me share. |
