I am more determind than ever to get back my life  

Having these goals may actually help you not be in so much pain. If you are safe to drive I would say to do it. Good luck in all you do. It will help you feel in control of your life if you are able to regain some of your freedom.

Good for you. I've always believed that it's never too late to become who you might have been.

hi jugsjugs good for you, thats the spirit,take control and get things
smoothed out in your life. If you can only get your poor feet well
that would be great. I have one bad foot that makes it hard for me to
walk but its not painful,what is painful is my right good knee, arthritis
and I need to talk to my doctor as I think he needs to up the dosage on my arthritis medication. I just really need to be able to go for walk againl Hope your plans now succeed. good luck and God bless

Keep fighting, that's the only way to win! Do what you can, and be wise about it.That way you'll lead yourself right out of the hole! Keep going doing as much as you can every day without doing too much!

Just remember to let your body heal, sometime it takes a long time.

I am sorry you are having a bad time. I hope you don't make some rash decisions you might be sorry for later on. There must be a reason that your doctor doesn't want you to drive.

That's Faith! Knowing that you can do what you want to do despite what the doctors say. Your mind has a way of responding to your resolve and giving your body the power to execute it. So keep believing and soon the pain will get bored and go away all by itself :)

Good on you jugs! You sound really determined, so set some goals, and go for them. Once achieved reset and go further. you will turn your life around. Good luck! Mike.

I think if you have a goal you should go for it... and if you feel happy when you ahve accomplished this goal it may help you in the long run!!

Don't hurt yourself but hang onto that determination! If your quality of life is suffering, you are right to take steps to change things. Your children need you and you should be able to enjoy raising them as much as possible. I don't know what physical problem you have but nearly anything can be overcome or made better, especially if you are determined not to let it get you down. You go girl!
