Re: Other's reactions/Cindy

[Guest guest]

Cindy,

I just found your message, and so appreciated your response. It

gives me strength to let others' comments roll off my (sore) back!

Keep writing about your successes.

Many thanks, and all the best!

struck me as odd. I was on crutches for a total of seven months,

then used the cane for a few more months after that. I had people

ask me how much longer I was going to be disabled, tell me how

miserable I must be being on crutches that long, etc. Shoot, if I

got no better than where I was a month after the second surgery

(including nerve issues, balance problems, crutches, etc.) it would

have all been worth it. I was actually in some ways more able

bodied at that point than I had been beforehand. My other favorite

is " You're too young to have had that done. " Well apparently I'm

not, or I wouldn't have had it done-lol.
