About Your Son-RiverJumper715

[Guest guest]

E-Greetings: I read what you posted this morning, and it struck a cord

within me. Trying to explain your current condition to people who don't

understand is really difficult. You mention that your son thinks

[snip]/My son is a fun loving 7 yr. old with a dad that thinks I am lazy

because I can't do things that he wants to do. That hurts me more than

my back. What do I tell him? How can I make him understand?[snip]

If you can access the Spoon Theory story[i believe there is a copy in

our files] this story or your interpreted version might be a useful tool

to deal with your child's lack of understanding. Also even though you

are injured please consider and research activities that you and your

son can still do!

Now about being left-handed and not being able to handle your coffee

cup. Earlier this year I injured my shoulder twice in the same area.

It took some cajoling with various doctors in order for me to get not

only answers, but ideas on how to exercise my arm and return to some

form of normalcy. My shoulder has returned to the point where I can use

as long as I understand that I now have limitations.

I would ask if you have applied for any therapy? Working with correct

knowledge on how to properly deal with a situation to me is better than

not. Please consider getting/acquiring knowledge so you can live the

best life you can.

Be Blessed
