I understand what it's like not to be physically able to do all the things one wants or is used to. <br /><br />I know that my DH contemplated suicide for many months after he was crippled; and the painkillers of course made him even more depressed (cause that's what they do). He felt useless and unloveable and was a total ass about it. Which is one of the reasons I MADE him move (yes, I am THE Bitch). Instead of spending the rest of his soon-to-be very short life being miserable, I moved him to a place where he could feel useful and viable once again. He can't do 3/4 as much as he did but he can do SOME things. <br /><br />The pain never goes away, he falls down a lot without warning (still) and sleeps a lot (still, it's the meds). <br /><br />Not a lot of people can drag themselves or their loved ones out of that downward spiral, though. Plus it takes someone who is MEAN as HELL to force them to. Not a lot of people have a BITCH to drive them out of their minds and past their endurance levels, and make them see the beauty in things again.Aunt Beahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05745455426720211455noreply@blogger.com
