About Me

I AM A SURVIVOR!  I sustained a spinal cord injury 25 yrs ago in an auto accident.  They said I'd never walk or work again.  I did both.  After 1 yr physical and occupational therapy I returned to work full time for 9 more yrs before retiring in 1993.

I have 7 grandkids ranging in age from 11-23.

I paint, go to concerts, swim, travel and love movies and theatre.

I am very active with my church, family and friends.

I LOVE HATS!

Well I go to a rhumatologist.  I have to take several different meds to control the symptoms.  I have nerve pain in my feet so I take cymbalta, sore and cramping muscles so I take oxycontin and muscle relaxers, I have GERD so I take zantac for my stomach.  I also take tamazapam for sleep or I don't sleep...It is a never ending thing...it comes and goes...some days are worse than others.  Today is a good say I got to go swimming to keep myseld limber...I was exhausted by the end but I did feel better...I cut out all processed foods and I eat whole foods which helps....swimming helps in a warm pool and then hit the jacuzi.

 

I wish you luck...it is with you always...

Thanks for accepting my friend request. It's nice to meet a fellow auto accident survivor who beat the odds like I did!
