Guest guest Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Welcome, Patsy. I just joined the group a little over a week ago, and I've already learned so much from these wonderful people. Sorry you have the need for a chronic pain support group, but I think that you, like me, will be glad you found it. What health issues are you dealing with? I'm like you--can't go anywhere unless someone takes me. Told my husband that I feel like one of the dogs sometimes, eager to go for a car ride no matter where we're going. I don't know what's worse sometimes--the pain itself, or the loss of independence and the lack of dignity that accompanies that. Even with the cognitive dulling from the meds, I'm still all too aware of my dependence on others. I used to be so self-reliant. I was SuperMom and able to take care of my family no matter what. I've yet to come to terms with my changed status. How do you handle it? What about your kids? Hugs, a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
