Thank you for your kind words.

Not to sound like some kind of saint, which I'm not, but I'm just dealing with the hand I was dealt. It's either that or lying down and giving up, those are the choices.

I wish you well,

zeph

Been thinking...

I wanted to touch on something you mentioned earlier about rigging up a laundry basket. I applaud you because it is our responsibility to figure out ways to continue on and get chores done. Same thing goes for when a man takes you into his own home to serve him. It doesn't matter that you did this while living alone. It matters that you did do it and can do it. Sometimes it takes originality and you did that.

I have to do things other ways also, one of which is cleaning the walls with a sponge mop. Scrubbing the floors on one knee.Often clean our bathroom sitting on the toilet and pivoting, when I vacuum I'm often on my left butt cheek using the hose instead of the other upright and I sometimes gather the baby's toys up with a rake. No kidding.

Anyway good job.

Wishing you well,
~twinkle

Those are great ideas, I may use some of them. Vaccuuming is actually easy because I have one of those awesome bagless ones. It just glides along the floors - no rugs or carpets, which is much easier on my hip. One question, how do you deal with cleaning the bathtub? That is one thing that murders my hip as kneeling long enough to clean it is a no-no.

love ya!

zeph

My elderly grandmother had bad hips and she found an extended pole, with scrubber on the end for washing the big rv's and trucks, so she could stand in the tub and clean it while remaining upright :)

They have those new shower cleaners, that supposedly spray automatically once a day or so and keep things clean, but I am not a fan the new chemicals and inventions too much...plus they are quite costly.    I think gramma had the right idea.  Any truck stop or place that sells to truckers or campers...should have one. 

Hope this helps.

Lisa

That is a wickely awesome idea, thank you so much! I'm thinking if I use a sponge on a stick and stand beside my tub that should do it.

Again, thank you!

Greetings twink,

Yeahyeahyeah I started it *grins*

While each of us has a different disability the one symptom we have in common is pain. So imo we can all learn from each other no matter where our starting point is.

I wish you well,

zeph




Hey Zeph, not sure about where you are but where I live there are lots of little offshore islands so the local markets and grocery stores will pack up and deliver your groceries for free to the ferry terminals as well as to the locals that are in need of that service for whatever the reason may be. Also, the cost for a taxi in town to deliver is $6.00 and again, the grocery stores charge nothing to get the provisions packaged, I believe most people either pay over the phone with a credit/debit card or send a check in advance. Just something to think about. Hope you are doing well!

Hi Aynne,

Nope, as far as I know we don't have that here. No biggie, I do my shopping bit by bit and then walk home. Walking is actually good for my hip so the more I do the better.

Thanks anyway,

zeph

I do agree, keeping mobile is definitely a plus, I go to the gym about 4 days a week, even when I don't want to, and even when achy, at least I do something easy like the treadmill, etc. I always wish you well! .

Hugs,
Aynne~

Status: offline 		Greetings Anne,

I wanted to touch on something you said in your last post. That being that you keep mobile and that you go to the gym even when you do not want to and hurt. I have found that to do the same, even when my body is screaming no way, it helps in the long run. I use one of those scooter's to get around outside of my complex and for long distance trips around town, but I have a corner store near me and decided a few months ago to quit using the scooter and just walk, no matter how I feel. I use to walk it all the time and enjoyed it but when I got the scooter, I found myself getting lazy, thinking I was saving myself a lot of pain and grief, well I have come to realize that sometimes pain and grief can be a help and a *good* driving force in life.
Thanks for bringing that up.

Take care,
Maahsatti

Status: offline 		Greeting to you also Maahsatti,

Thank you for the affirmation, sometimes it is just so hard isn't it? Even if I just walk s l o w l y for 15 or 30 minutes, I do feel better usually. I think that sometimes it is easy for anyone with chronic pain to just give in so so easy, and I am glad to see all of the strong women here that are doing their hardest to keep mobile and take care of  themselves. (Oops men too!)

It's funny you mentioned the scooter, my cousin Robin is so young, only 38 and suffers horribly with Rheumatoid Arthritis and her parents wanted to get her one and she opposed it for the same reasons you just stated, if you don't mind I will share your experience with her, verbally and in a general anonymous sense of course, I think it would make her feel better about her choice too. She finds that swimming helps her pain a lot, I am not so much of a fan of that, but she swears by it.

I hope you are feeling as well as you can,
Aynne~

Hi all, i know many of us were hoping Thomas was doing well after his transplant and i contacted Crystal to ask her how he was doing. She responded and asked me to post same here:

"Thomas is doing wonderfully well! The only bad news is that He's doing SO well that I got to come home 33 days early. The bad thing is that W/we're missing each O/other so VERY much. I felt just awful leaving Him there alone. But, W/we talk EVERY day! Still there's an empty place in my world now! I think once He gets home He won't be missing me as much since He has a room mate that should make it better for Him. Please, update the forum for me. *soft smile*

Thank you, Crystal "

In that respect I always order 3-4 times a year a huge delivery from my main store online...that way they supply my water bottles, cat food, cat litter, all the heavy stuff plus the stuff I need at that time. And so I only have to get the weekly things between the times until I place my next order....but I think I heard before that this is not in every country possible.

They charge between 4-6 pound (depending on what time slot you choose and what day) and as thats the same as a cab fare I enjoy that option now...shame when that isn't possible in your area, as it makes life much easier

Good for you for not allowing your pain to stop you from getting the exercise your body needs, Mistress. You are an inspiration for those of use with daily pain.

I am proud to say that I have been walking home from work, no matter how much I want to just hop on a bus and be home. In fact I just got back from shopping - walking both ways despite a heavy cart full of  groceries.

I wish you well, Mistress,

zeph

Status: offline 		My mother had MS, the progressive type, over the years she slowly grew more and more unable to do things for herself, she had exercises to do to keep herself flexible, but she rarely did them, she had breathing exercises to help her lungs keep capacity so the wheelchair position didn’t compromise them too much, but she would forget. So many things she should have done and so many things she didn’t do for various reasons.

As she got worse it became easier for her to ask me to do things, and I did them because I couldn’t cope with the arguments and accusations when I forced her to do things herself, many times I stormed out saying I wouldn’t go back, and because she was my mother I always went back the next day, we would hug say we loved each other and then ignore the problem that caused the fight. Eventually she became a quadriplegic, who needed to be fed by a tube in her stomach, and part of the reason she deteriorated so much I suspect was because she wouldn’t do things that were difficult or pointless in her opinion etc.

I still have friends with MS the ones who have stayed mainly mobile were the ones who forced themselves to be mobile, one woman I know has a flight of stairs up to her house from the road of over 60 steps she refuses to move to an easier house even though it would be no problem financially and her family have begged her to because going out every day and doing those steps has kept her mobile. Another woman I know with bad rheumatoid arthritis has kept the use of her hands by forcing herself every day to write even if she had to hold the pen with both hands pushed together. Another with bad polio sadly now diseased may have needed help wiping her own butt, but lord help you if you tried to do anything for her that she could do herself, she kept her independence to the very end when pneumonia finally killed her.

I have seen it all from the outside, screamed with frustration and cried tears knowing that once again the easy option would be taken, but the easy option also takes, it takes mobility, it takes ability, and eventually it takes your independence leaving you a prisoner reliant on others.

Cheryl
