I was interested to learn that I am not the only one who passes up things which do not seem to apply right now or which I am afraid will apply later. One such is the current thread about wheelchairs. I am NOT saying stop. Keep talking about it, I just read a few words and skip them. The same applies to surgery at this point for me. I am so frightened of the idea of surgery right now, yet I know that when I get to the place where I have more off time than on time, I will seriously consider it. I am glad there are so many others here at all stages of this "condition" to let me know that there is life at each stage, and I will make it through all of it. don't forget how to laugh (and do it often) Marling McReynolds [log in to unmask]
