Life Sentence Thread...What I Would Do For "US"
 
I so relate to everyone responding to "withmore"
Withmore...You took the words right out of my and so many of our mouth(s)
Joh...I could feel everything you posted minus the kids. Just the adults who act like kids.

I dream...
I dream of winning the lottery
I dream of turning that lottery winnings into something more than expensive materialistic what-ifs and wants.
With this dream I vision...
I vision turning my home with a pool as a safe house and education facility for TOS patients and their family's.
I vision TOS docs, pain management docs, PT's, Neuropsychologist, Psychiatrists, counselors giving us their heart and soul sessions.
I vision Hypnotherapy, and a massage therapy room for patients.
I vision hiring therapists for aqua therapy classes.
I vision hiring a nutritionist to cook and teach classes in a newly created disability kitchen.
I vision the ability to give back to so many of us in need.

That's a great dream. And dreams are very good! But, someday, hopefully, it can become reality! Thank you! Linda

Forgot a vision I personally want
 
And would help others in the immediate area
I have a vision.... of hiring a driver and purchasing a limo filled with purified water & soft pillows for smooth pain free rides to and from docs and appointments

I cannot stand when you are driving and have to keep looking behind to back up or turn a corner!! Drives me crazy! My daughter is 17 and drives now so having her help is good. We are college shopping and going to spend some time away from home visiting schools and I can't wait. We will get some alone time. With her being the oldest of 4 it will be nice. Also, when we drive to FL in February, she can help.

My dream well is a little vindictive here it goes every one at comp would wake up in extreme pain and they would not get any help from the doctors and it would take month or years also they would have to apply for comp and every one that has been hurt by them would be there case workers and they would have to fight the system until they learn how they make people feel and how they have caused such pain. Oh sweet justest i know i shouldn't wish these on any one but i can't help it. These is my dream right now ha ha ha.

My dream
 
I think, right now I would like to swim again. Dive in my pool and swim like I used to. I would like to have my son put his head on my shoulder, even at 12 he still does, without cringing in pain and telling him he can't. What a bummer. How horrible to tell your child not to rest their head on you. Making sure when my 4 year old and I are walking, she holds left hand, not right. She knows. How pathetic. Just want to be the way I was. That is my dream.

Wow, LinJane, you've really hit the nail on the head. After a long wait(I'm 39) and multiple miscarriages, our first baby(surviving twin) was born last August. I can't tell you how upset I've been about having to limit my time holding her, adjusting her position, etc. She's adapted, but I'm very concerned about how that impacts her.

I'm tentatively scheduling surgery in January...scans show I may be lucky and get by without first rib resection. I'm not looking forward to it, but I am looking forward to being able to raise my arms again!

My dream..
 
As I look back now ( I'm recovering from a car crash) and I'm concerned about the new pains that I have now and what time will bring( such as another rib resection.)

I didn't appreciate my good health when I had it. I dream about swimming in the ocean or a pool would be great also.

I pushed my body too hard for too many years with an underlying disease I didn't know about (hyperparathyroidism) which now has caused stage II-III kidney disease. Fourteen years working 12 hour night shifts- why can some people do it and some people crash?

I dream of good health for all my tos friends and my family also.

The baby will adjust just fine. Babies do not know any differently and as long as you are with them and loving them that is what they need. Don't waste any energy on worry. Just enjoy your baby!
