Do you have an inspiring or favorite quote to share?

Posted by Zebra @californiazebra, Jun 21, 2023

I'll start with three quotes from the very inspiring Helen Keller as noted in "Your Year of Healing" book by Amit Sood, MD:

"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it."

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched -- they must be felt with the heart."

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."

This is probably not the right spot for this,but I sustained a back injury as a teenager and it has not bothered me until the last few years. There is damage on my mid to lower back that is giving me problems walking and making normal movements. The doctor has suggested the epidural needle to kill pain for about 6 months. I've been reading about this procedure and it seems to be 'iffy'. If the procedure is done wrong things could be worse. How can I be sure it's for me?

Get a second or third opinion from doctors you trust.
Then, you gathering more knowledge to make a good choice.
I had an epidural needle once for pain after a long period of finding the facts. It helped me a great deal. The procedure appeared to me as easier than back surgery or years of pain.
Good luck with your decision.

Some things I say to guide myself through life:

"Love isn't something you say, it's something you do."

"If everybody on earth did just one thing to make things better, the effect would be massive."

"For every person you see, say something nice. Those may be the only kind words they hear all day."
