Three Year Aniversery

Friends,

It was three years ago yesterday that I lost my legs because of my diabetes and circulation problems.  That was 12/27/2007.  I have come a long way since then.  I must still always use a wheelchair to get around and always will. I accept that and do quite well with it although all the snow we get in the winter does definently make it much more trying.  I am doing quite well as of late.  I have lost some weight which is good and my eyesight although not great seems to have stablized at least for now.  I just want to wish everyone belated Merry Christnas and a Happy New Year.

Hugs Linda. I love your attitude about it. My man's brother had a similar story, but worse. They amputated his leg due to him not controlling his diabetes. His heart was too weak though, and he died only a few days later. I didn't even know my man had a brother and I am happy he told me. I found out the man had not spoken to his brother in years, and I forced mine to be the man and give his brother in a coma forgiveness and to say he loved him. I had to fight mine to do that though, I ended up telling him to pretend it was me laying in the bed. That got him to do it. Anyhow, you are ever so right hon, you have to take care of diabetes or it can eat you alive. Keep strong honey. HUGS

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!

Glad to hear from you again, Linda. I think that the day you lost your legs was the day you decided to keep living. You are one brave lady!

Happy New Year to you and yours, also.
