Tomorrow is a new day. Hopefully it will bring better with it... Hasnt for over three years, but one can hope...

Andy,
You're right....tomorrow is a new day. With each new day, the pain will lessen. Learning new ways and new moves will help as well. Unfortunately healing takes time and patience. Soon you will be "out and about". Just taking longer than you had anticipated.

A quick update, which is a little more positive this time... I have forced myself to do some walking & it appears to have loosened things up a little... I am out of bed now & managing my days in my front room, which is brilliant... Small things we take for granted become massive when taken away from us... I have managed to keep on top of my dishes too, which is great... Cant do any more than that yet, but the small improvement feels massive & hopefully the start of better things to come!

Andy,
 
Thanks for the update.
Maybe just one new thing to try each day. Like maybe even go for a short walk. Some fresh air might add a little extra push to the next small adventure. Of course, from experience, you know better than to overdo things.

Im sure things will settle down & I just have to keep myself to myself for a while...

Hi Andy. I'm sure your therapist would like to hear from you if you are really struggling at the moment. She will have good boundaries as a professional regardless of what is going on in her private life and it sounds like you really need to talk to someone face to face. I think you're very courageous and I hope you can get the help and support you need very soon.

All the best

Another quick update. Feeling a little more optimistic lately as managed to reach my walking target. It was only a short walk, but it felt like walking to the moon. Im aware that there is a lot of negative thoughts & feelings on this board, certainly from myself, so just wanted to attempt to tip the balance with a little positive news...

Peace out & love to the room :-)

Congratulations on reaching your walking target, Andy. Keep the goals attainable, but just stretching you enough. Nice to read a positive Post from you.

Dave.

Yeah!!! So happy to hear about the walking. It feels so good when you start making those gains. Keep up the good work!

Brick by brick, good citizens of Rome....

I hope everyone is well.

A quick update; I am able to walk slightly further distances & doing a bit more around the house... Nothing too major, but improvement is definitely there, albeit slowly, & that gives hope for the futute... I am determined to get some life back next year & already have a job lined up if I can get enough improvement... Victor not victim!

Love to the room...
