When people use the old cliche'"at least you've got your health", they don't understand that it is so true. We understand how you feel because we feel the same way. when you lose your health, it is devastating. It touches every aspect of your life. It has taken me so long to accept my limitations. I added to my own misery for years by trying to do things that I had always taken for granted. I tried to ski, and hurt my knees and back, I tried to play softball, etc. At some point I herniated two discs in my back and hyperextended both my knees along the way. We all suffer the same feelings of despair that you describe. Personally, if I have a "good" day, I overdo, trying to catch up on things that I've let go, and always end up in awful pain for a week afterwards. Sometimes I feel so useless I can barely stand it. and sometimes I think if I have to slap on a happy face and pretend everything's fine for friends and family, I'll just scream. this board is the only place I feel comfortable expressing these thoughts. I keep them hidden in a dark place along with the memories of what used to be. Yes, I do understand...
