If you think having your bike taken away from you is difficult, how would you feel if your car keys were a thing of the past. I had spinal surgery (stenosis, sciatica and scoliosis and it left me with a weakness in my right leg. My physical therapists would not certify that I could drive because in the event that I had to jam on the brakes, I would not have enough strength in my left leg to do so. I am divorced and as a result, I am stuck in the house and unable to be the busy bee that I used to be. I need to use a roll about to walk. But my faith in God sustains me because I am 85 years old and have had a wonderful and exciting life and even though my energy level is still quite high, I am grateful that I am still alive. Hang in there everybody and try to do the best that you can despite pain or loss of whatever function you used to have and be happy that you still have life, liberty anf the pursuit of whatever happiness you can find. God bless each and everyone of you.

Thank you for the hug, Lori. I needed that today.

Thank you for your inspirational words. I’ve learned a lot since my new medical journey began last year. Be your own best healthcare advocate AND mindset is everything. Keep doin what you’re doing!

Thank you, RF. You are a handsome, young man. Good luck to you and your loved one.
