Struggling, I wish everyone on Mudcat would read this thread. It is like people grouping around someone in an accident, everyone helpful, everyone giving their best with no regard to themself. It is a real feeling of humanity.....I just got out of another thread where I was feeling sorry for myself and sort of losing faith in my fellow man , when Istopped by here..How inspirational it must be to have these strangers care about you enough to offer their courage, suggestions prayers, whatever, just folks wanting to help. I had back surgery three years ago, and after a lot of time when I put limitations on myself, got with the program, and I am happy to tell yo that I walk a fe miles every day, work out regularly, lost 28 lbs, and feel better than I have in 30 years. You have more inner strength than you know. Good luck and God bless, Now I have to go help Liz fix her bike!
