Hi Marla,

Thank you for your feedback. It is appreciated.

No, I can no longer walk or stand. It was 2-3 years before I noticed

my strenght had totally left my legs. But I think it csn be

prolonged with daily and diligent excercise.

And thank you for your prayers.

is deprived of sunlight day in and day out, that depression is a

serious problem.

Vit D can only be absorbed when we expose out bodies to sunlight.

lights) can help for those that live up north where winter storms and

extreme temperatures dictate them being inside for weeks on end.  I

have a couple of friends that have these lights, and they do use them

daily to get some relief.

> Even if you can't SEE the sun-- just getting outside into the fresh

air even if it's overcast or foggy or rainy still activates the Vit

D.  So it doesn't have to be in direct sunlight (but it sure feels

good when it is!)

> I can't help but think that part of the problem is that when our

health makes us stay inside and confined -- that part of what our

immune system has adapted to is to try to produce the Vit D it needs

to keep us going by overproducing-- in the wrong places of the body

(in the lungs...)

> So my dear friend, how about we take those electric chairs of ours

and an umbrella (I am looking at the oversized ones that they use on

golf courses) and get out-- hey maybe we can find someone else on a

chair and challenge them to a race.  (I keep asking at the stores

when I run into a fellow rider-- and they've either laughed or given

me really nasty looks-- ) Can you see us all at our local Costco's

drag racing in wheelchairs!  ZOOMMMMMMMM!!!!1

> Maybe a local gym could give us a track to use inside-- like they

wheelchair basketball players--- think creatively, it's gotta be

good!!

LOL I am already a card carrying member of the SAD group. So it is the electric wheelchair races. I think I could win as I was a CNA and we had wheelchair races where I worked. It was part of our training each year. so we could see what the residents go through. So Start your engines. lol

LOL! I wish I'd seen those races -- when I worked for an ophthalmologist, we had a driveway that curved downhill onto a very busy street-- and more than once we visualized pushing a few secretaries in their chairs over the edge! Ooops, so much for compassion....

Get ready with those virtual chairs-- Rose, you're in charge!!

Love to all,
