Thank you for this. I have five more weeks of physical therapy for my hip. I am pretty sure this will be the last. I have no other plans for my life at this time. I think it is because I am getting old, even though I do not feel my age. Perhaps that is one of the things that keeps me going. It's the old adage - just one foot in front of the other. Keep going and don't give up.

Each day counts and becomes another time for possibilities that can be helpful or hurtful. I’m hoping you stay on the helpful side of healing and positive feelings. We will listen to your journey and learn. Each of us are incredibly unique but we all are on the path to challenges that you are very aware of. You can make a difference to the younger crowd and we will listen.

Hello thisismarilynnb. I am so sorry for all that you are dealing with. I am 75, and I am trying to wean myself from Effexor (antidepressant) that I have taken for 22 years for fibromyalgia. It stopped working 3 years ago, and that is when this horrible depression and anxiety started. I am hoping that if I can get off this drug, my outlook will improve.
It is hard to find things to look forward to when we are growing old and have health issues. But your comment about "putting one foot in front of the other" is the best advice and really our only choice. Do take care and come back and post about your progress. I will be looking for you. Love, Rebecca
