Gosh Ya'll, We've got some serious goings ons here. I don't have any disabilities. But, I do have limitations, since I've had a severey broken ankle and a liver TX. I wasn't expected to walk right ever again or live (all within the time span of 5 years). But, I walk fine and I'm alive. Plus, I can't take anything worth popping for pain. So, I adopted the mindset that "Pain is 100% proof that I'm alive". when something hurts, it just has to hurt, "use it or loose it", so I will not give into my discomforts. I've found the more I do the better I feel and the more tired I get the better I sleep. OH, and that other thing, the "Vertically Challenged", got that too...5'2" LOL Now that, is a challenge..but I enjoy shopping for pretty step stools to have handy around the house. QBall

Mountain Ash, please don't consider this prying, but can you share the horseplay story? And, the part from Psalms that helped you? I am so sorry that the actions of another caused you such pain, but physically and in regards to your career choice. You are a remarkable woman... you do know that, right?

LJ, I don't know anyone who rakes and shovels the roof, with or without some disabilities from stroke. BR, why did you have the pain in your feet? And how does anyone walk 4 miles a day in upstate NY? It can get mighty cold there! I can't get in 1.5 - 3 here due to cold & snow. Or that is my excuse. Snow, wind, rain, sun....MA, you have such a good attitude about life and lessons, and lessons in life. QB, what is liver TX? toxicity? WS, yes, Depokote made me fat and stupid, and did nothing to relieve migraines. I believe I would benefit from regular massage.

Wow, dancer. Thanks for the details on your neck related injuries. Scary.
I personally knew 3 people who were disabled from childhood, 2 from polio and the 3rd from birth where she is considered officially blind...and hence, genuinely can't drive, ride a bike, etc. I also worked in a hospital for spinal cord injured adults who were bound to wheelchairs --for life. So I can appreciate dancer, the near-miracle that your spine was not injured permanently.
so I consider my minor problem with wearing customized orthotics for past 15 years very minor. I do have wear them often enough or I get foot pain within 15 min. of walking.
I go for many hrs. on snowshoeing, hiking and xcountry skiing. I do wear them on bike also.

Princess, Liver TX, is Liver Transplant...sorry bout the TX, it's a common abbv among we liver folks. LOL Dancer, You seem to be a tall gal that is proud to be tall. So many tall women/girls don't stand up straight for fear of being too tall.I rather like being petite w/ dark blonde hair. It's fun to shock people with physical strenght of a much larger person. Plus, I think smaller women can pass off that 'ooops child like innocense when we goof up' w/ such ease. So, handy..LOL Sincerely from my heart, If prayers & wishes could take away the pain from each of you, it would be gone. Because I Pray it eases for you and wish for the answers that would find you in total comfort. QBall
