Kbear-

You are awesome! I like to provide as much detail in my postings as a rule. I think it's good to do so and it is truly therapeutic to just write about everything we are feeling. It helps knowing people who totally understand what we're feeling are reading what we say and are willing to help out in any way.

I'd say you and your family must have a guardian angel up there, because to survive both those accidents is freaking amazing! Wow! I can't even imagine. I think I'd start walking everywhere or riding a bike....

I can't imagine being in the pain I am now and having to take care of small children. My kids are older and that really helps. I can ask them to do things and it's not a problem. My daughter has been shofering me around to many of my doctor appts. and it's been really nice knowing she can do this for me.

Take care and again, thank you for your encouraging message; it's so much appreciated! Now, it's time to try to go back to bed for a while. I've been up for 2 hours and it's only 5:19 a.m. I hate sleepless nights due to pain. I really do!

Anyway, try to have a wonderful Thanksgiving; sounds like we both have a great deal to be thankful for.

Regards,
Danielle
