Glad to hear you're doing well beatle. Keep up what's working. Well done.

As for the cute nurses, :p I imagine they're everywhere when you have a determined eye for spotting cuteness. (LOL)

Take care Beatle and hope to see you around again sometime soon.

Ya know, I think you may have something here. Just replace everything until you have a new body! Maybe you can patent it as a PTSD treatment, one body part at a time!

Ok, I know. I know. I shouldn't kid about it. I am glad you are doing well. I mean that. And I don't mean to trivialize PTSD. Just my humor coming through.

I hate when my mind goes here ! Today I thought of suicide for the first time in years . I went to walk to the train station [ 1 mile } and the pain in my calfs and feet just kills me . I still have to stop every five minutes and rest .
I want to believe it is going to get better , just some times it beats the shi# out of me .
I really need a new path to walk , some new thing I can find meaning with or in . je#*# this suc*s the royal root .

Hang in there Beatle. You have been doing so well.

Hope you're feeling a good bit better today Beatle B. When I was doing my rehab, I had pain with every breath and could only go about 10 feet without turning blue. I know what you mean about the frustration and how it can wear you down. Good idea about changing scenery maybe with a new walking path. I see my suicidal thoughts as a "flag" that something is amiss, see what kind of loving, caring things you may need to change. Most often that flag means I have a need that isn't being met somewhere.

Your words ring true Albatross there is some thing wrong with the physical , mental & spiritual sides to me quite often and almost none of it is being fed right now . even in this space I am holding back , just cause of ; . well we
will leave that be ...
