Thanks for the encouraging words. It does help to know there are others out there who deal with similar issues. My husband is wonderful but just doesn't get it sometimes.

I also LOVE receiving my Outreach. It is so encouraging and helps me see I'm not alone!

Thanks and keep up the good work.

does everyone go through ups and downs with depression or is it just me. some times i feel fine and my limitations don't bother me.........other days i feel like i'm worthless and should just crawl back in bed and stay there

<t>You are in great hands with Dr Chin at Mayo. He and Dr's Bishop and Skinner did my surgery in October of 2002 after a motorcycle injury. From what I've read recovery is very individualized. I had an excellent recovery..........twice the range on motion they predicted. Physical Therapy and massage...
