RE: Out of energy-full of pain

[Guest guest]

Dear Sharon, I pamper myself while I'm going to fly and always request a wheelchair and give the person who wheels me a couple bucks, and I always request a bulkhead seat. Once I got lucky and they were out of bulkhead seats and put me in first class at no extra charge! At least I have a little bit of energy when I arrive at my destination and then home again. Hope you're doing well and taking care of yourself Jeanniedarkstarzz1019 <darkstarzz1019@...> wrote: Hi all to those of you who were asking about busy days and ending up out of strength to do anymore afterwards. I just took a short trip out of town. Just going thru the airport and getting there wore me out. I got to get out a little each day but as the trip went on my days got shorter and shorter, my nites got longer and

more painful. The day I came home I got stuck in the airport for over 5 hrs and then had to practically run to the gate to catch my flight, then a guy cut me off right at the gate rushing to get there himself, hit my cane with his bag and almost knocked me down. I wanted to take my cane and smack him over the head. I was sore and hurting like heck by the time I got on the plane and even worse that nite and the next day. Today I can barely walk at all, so yes doing more does wear me out totally. But it was worth it for the few hours I got to enjoy being lazy and out doing things I never get to do anymore. Luckily I had a wonderful friend with me who helped me out alot when I ran out of gas or got to hurting tooo much. One day I woke up and it felt like fireworks going off in my sciatic nerve from my back to my foot all over the place for over 30 min, was NOT fun at all thank heavensit finally stopped. Also this trip

showed me something else, how I need to have this next surgery to try and get rid of this pain that is increasing daily and pray that it will go away. Even at home I can never go anywhere for most of the day running around without payinig for it later in spades. The cost of a few hours of enjoyment is days worth of increased pain I guess. Sometimes it worth it sometimes its not, everyone can only decide for themselves. Anyway nice to be home again with all my babies (animals). Hope everyone is having as painfree day as possible.

Hi Jeanie I asked for a wheelchair but when I got off the plane I

found a lady's friend had taken it for herself same thing has

happened to me everytime I fly. The attendant told me he'd request

another one for me but I'd have to wait awhile for them to find

another one. I gave up and walked thru the airport. Seems like

everytime I asked for one I get off the plane to find someone has

taken mine and I have to wait for them to find another one. I don't

know how I am supposed to get people to stop stealing my wheelchair

for themselves when they are very capable of walking just too lazy

to do it. The idea of the bigger seat is a

good one though and I wil ask for that next time I travel.Thanks

Dear Sharon, You've had some bad luck with wheelchair stealers- I think if it happened to me again I'd be contacting the airline, especially since it seems you're more than just a one time passenger. I'm not young and willing to put up with other people's rudeness any longer. I used to be very timid, but now I try to stand up for myself- at least in a polite way. I lost all my dignity and pride all the times I've spent in dr. offices and hospitals and being sick over everyone and every thing. I try to get things rectified. My daughter calls me up to rescue her from rude people and things that have gone wrong for her! Luckily my husband has a sense of humor, if I can't walk, he just picks me up and carries me, or when we get my luggage, he stacks it on the stroller thingy and puts me on top of the suitcases- and away we go! Vegas is a really rude city unless you flash money, then they're all over you. But most of the people here make their living

on tips. I used to be one of them until about 18 months ago, I'm still not used to having people have to help me out. I try to do things I used to, then I wear myself out and get my husband mad because I don't ask for help. I guess it takes time. I know it would be harder if I were a man. We're in the process of moving, and it's taking me forever to pack, I have to pace myself, take a little nap, then try again. My husband has to work a long day, so this is mainly my project. I won't mind unpacking, I can take my time..Guess I'll go pack some more, thanks for lettimg me babble. darkstarzz1019 <darkstarzz1019@...> wrote: Hi Jeanie I asked for a wheelchair but when I got off the plane I found a lady's friend had taken it for herself same thing has happened to me everytime I fly.

thats how i am with my kids. my brothers are ten and eight yrs older then

me, so when i was little (i was an accident) my dad didnt really have the

energy for me and i remember certain things like trying to learn how to play

catch with the nerf football, and he would get moody because his back hurt

and he couldnt bend down to keep picking up my messed up throws. so as much

as possible i play with them; it costs me but i just want them to have the

dad i didnt have when i was little. i understand now but i was 9 yrs old

then and i didnt really get it and it hurt so i dont want that for my kids.

i definately understand the few hours of pleasure equaling the days of pain;

but its worth every second!

No greater burden can be borne by an individual than to know no one cares or

understands.
