Hi, Debbie (@dbeshears1)
I was happy to see your post in response to "PN? What good is it?" topic. After posting something that others might find too filled with positivism, I'm always on edge, fearing I'll be accused: "Oh, sure, Ray, you can talk. You've got it easy compared to us." And I understand that. In many ways, I do have it easy compared to so many others who've been battling their neuropathies far longer than I have. What gave me the idea for the topic was a conversation with a friend with CIPD. She and I were talking about learned helplessness and how vigilant we must be not to fall too deeply into the pit of learned helplessness. (I say that, and immediately I remember I've yet to do my daily balance work. I'd better get to it.)
Crabcake Benedict? Wow!

Ray - I think, like death (or divorce or other things), there have to be natural stages of grieving & acceptance. It's very nice to try to be positive whenever we can, despite the hurdles we have along the way. I think I've exhausted myself on negative things at times, and I know it can be helping my health when I get in those ruts. By starting a thread like this, it only helps pick us up again and regain our focus on improving ourselves, with each other's help. This group has been my lifeline!
