Hi Becky, When people care I appreciate it so much thank you so much. People caring is so rare It always makes me cry. I see a Psychologist only when my husband can bring me. About once a month I can't sit long, stand, long, bending I use one of the handicap sticks for laundry etc. Hard to shower, bending, twisting so sponge baths. I would like a support group, clergy, it's getting there. I live in the country everything is spread out. I called clergy, there was no one close to pick me up. I never thought of calling Assistance for the Disabled. I promise I will do that after the holiday. I will look into what you suggested. I"m here also for others. Will you be going to a BBQ? Hope you, are feeling good today?

@kimspr3 Kim, start writing down your thoughts, on a computer if you have one, or by hand. Or speak and record your thoughts. I know from experience that saying what you are feeling out loud, let's another part of your brain listen. I like to longhand write, and later will look at how I wrote, not just what. Pretty enlightening, let me tell you! Some people just cannot get a clue how to treat a loved one in chronic pain. Perhaps have a friend explain it to him, instead of you. We care here.

I care, and I know the others who read your message care. That’s the amazing thing about this group. You are not alone, and you are understood and loved by people you don’t know.
