Funny..I was never a fan of when one would say..there is always some one out there is worse shape that I am .. to me that means someone hurts more that I and I don't like thinking that way!! A friend of mine said yesterday that if she had one wish it would be to make my RSD better....My answer after thanking her, of course...was..my wish would be to keep her healthly as never to feel the dismay of an illness... and thanks for wanting me to feel better but my wish is to never loose my support system cuz without them .. I am nothing!!! Stay hopeful... but one thing for certain is we have eachother.. |

My husband and I has been in a downward spiral for approximately 4 years it seems - like JimKing said. Its been one thing after another, culminating with my RSD. There have been a number a crushing losses and set backs for us, both financial and personal, that we never would have imagined we would face together when we were younger. Somehow we survived together, and in a few days we will (quietly) celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.
We still have our kids, our house, jobs, and a Civic instead of a Lexus. And each other. And my husband will cite the 5th member of our family - the RSD - that has wreaked its havoc on us for the last few years. We hope and pray that the year 2010 is when things will finally begin to improve for us and for others like us. |

I'm with everyone else here. I think 2009 was the end of a very bad few years. I know, deep in my bones, that this year will be the beginning of a new, better time. Don't know how I know, but I do. It will really start getting better by spring. I'm getting the pain pump on Monday, the know the next 5-6 wks will be hard, painful, and frustrating. But after that I see things getting better. I pretty sure my pcp dr. is going to hire me on for front desk, so financially, it will get better. I'm only allowed to earn a little as I'm on SSD, and I know I will never be well enough to work full time again. That and the fact that I am 60 years old. Not that that is old, but on paper it looks it. lol
daughter and her DH moved in with us in Dec with their 2 cats. Our house is only 1500 sq feet. not big at all. Come spring I know they will be moving into a place of their own..and I'll get my house back in order. so...everyone, just hang in there for a few more months. It is looking better. Hugs Mary

This sure is a timely thread LOL! My family and I were having some serious converstations about this topic all this week. We all agreed that it just wasnt 2009 so much as it has been the last decade.
A couple of my sons were saying the 90's were like a dream, everything just went great the entire decade. All of us are in agreement when it comes down to deciding this last decade was the pits, and we know it covered the nation, and even the world in bad times. It is kinda hard for me to get excited about 2010, but I am optimistic, and will keep looking for that good coming year. What I do know is that my butt still has bruises from all the shoe drops the last few years, and I have to really shake this feeling >>>

It seems our luck declined on 9-11 2001 with the terrorist attacks. I work very close to the Pentagon. Our building shook when the plane crashed. The economy took a dive and hurt my business, it went belly up 4 months ago. My wife fell down and broke her wrist in 2002 and RSD set in. My baby sister died of a brain anorism 2004, my mother passed away just before Christmas. It just seems to come in waves to the point I feel numb about it all. However, I am optimistic that things will get better.

Timely, Ada! I'm so tired of 'itchin about what I've gone through this decade. The disrespect is the worst. Lawyers and the courts. Even though we have an ADA, how I just lost a house I owned for 30 years to a woman I was married to for less than 4, (her name wasn't on it), I don't know. But, my kids saw it coming and split. (yada yada).
I'm crushed, not because of the rsd, tbi, tos, discs, apnea, etc. but because of the lack of respect humanity has for its own. Anyone remember, (I'm 53) when We was in grade school, we got taught about Population Explosion, with 3 billion on the planet. now there's 9, and not a word about it. There are too many people on this earth! Nature will surely handle this. To be so arrogant to think that we (Man) can cause a change to the climate is rather outrageous. We're just need something else to tax. I don't know the answer to starvation, and lack of clean water, but Ma Nature does! Now we get an Earthquake on Haiti, and a guy like Pat Robertson, is nutso enough to call it their own fault! (my wording). Enough for now.... pete Last edited by AintSoBad; 01-14-2010 at 06:38 PM. |
