I feel for you-- really. Yes, I don't know why we think others dont understand. People Im around are sympathetic and would do anything to help. But thats the kick in the pants--they can't. Yes, I feel isolated since I've stopped my two beautiful groups two years ago, I was embarrassed from my crooked elbow and broken shoulder ( both from falls) and a limp due to a deteriorating hip. Doctors say its too risky for surgery. So, all the above remain unfixed, arm bones cross over each other! Sometimes at home, I scream in pain. I just can't risk that in public, but how I miss my friends! We should chat sometime. Denna
