Now that would be a hoot! I swear my life sometimes is like a comedy show--it must be lived to be believed. I will have you know I am pretty good with a sowing machine. I like it when we defy gender roles and take great delight when I see a woman doing a typically male job.william Peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223601480542461802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-68925890287615914302011-01-19T06:24:14.095-08:002011-01-19T06:24:14.095-08:00Hi William, suffering with stress and depression i...Hi William, suffering with stress and depression is something I am familiar with. I have been on pills in the past and don't think they helped me. My healer was time, and getting away from the situation that caused me stress and got me down. Not as easy for you to do I can see. I think it's good that you are doing some work, some reading, writing, watching TV and playing Halo. Better than moping and doing nothing. <br /><br />One idea I can think of for you, would be try something new. Something new and exciting you can learn or do, like a new hobby. Obviously one you can do sat down or in bed. For example, writing, have you tried writing fiction or poetry? Art, Drawing or Painting? Learning a foreign language? Anything! I would suggest crochet, knitting or cross-stitch too, but am being stereotypical here in assuming you wouldn't want to! <br /><br />I think if you can find something new and exciting to do, it will inspire you and keep your thoughts moving in happy new directions. You are bored of being stuck in the house unable to live as you did, maybe concentrating on learning something new might help. You could always rewrite a 'Glee' script with a cranky 'Artie' - it can't be any worse than the actual series! Have some fun!<br /><br />Hoping some of this helped, <br /><br />Sketching Girl :)Sketching Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15894873881126771450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-83963736072536840312011-01-17T03:50:07.278-08:002011-01-17T03:50:07.278-08:00Hi William,

"Society" says "you are used to it".<br />Yet people in prison may not have the best choice of activities and companions, but they have them. I believe only death row inmates have almost complete isolation and extremely restricted exercise hours per week.<br />You have been isolated on Halloween and possibly face similar isolation on Easter.<br />Of course your family is great. But you need to be you!<br />Wish I had the answers for you but I don't. All this brings to mind is the character, Andy, in the movie Shawshank Redemption.<br />Please keep your mind active.<br />(Right now I'm facing additional health issues again. Take care)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13755018867446972946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-49362866444945341952011-01-16T21:56:18.363-08:002011-01-16T21:56:18.363-08:00William,

Unfortunately it appears the only thing you can do is have P.A.T.I.E.N.C.E.<br />Hope that someone has positioned your computer so you can operate it from a lying down position.<br />You are a very strong person. A weak person would have cracked under the pressure before this.<br />Keep smiling.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13755018867446972946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-36161758304608903002011-01-16T15:36:10.740-08:002011-01-16T15:36:10.740-08:00Ginger, Yes I need to get out but cannot do so. My...Ginger, Yes I need to get out but cannot do so. My sitting time is severely limited--less than 2 hours a day. I cannot put pressure on my wound. The more i am up the slower I will heal. I also try to limit the number of transfers. I live at least 10-15 minutes away from any store or destination. Any trip requires a transfer from bed to chair and chair to car. Not a good idea. I get visitors but that this a a far cry from social interaction I am accustom to. I miss interacting with colleagues, friends, and especially adaptive ski programs. The wound will heal but until then I am stuck. Frankly I do not even enjoy sitting. I need to cook, clean and get all household chores done at warp speed. As always I appreciate your thoughts.william Peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223601480542461802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-13270826127630918092011-01-16T13:36:34.838-08:002011-01-16T13:36:34.838-08:00William,

You also need other people to feel free to visit you!<br />Right now society is ignoring the basic needs of all physically challenged.<br />We've made progress but there are too many dummies in this world who feel a handicapped sticker is all we need.<br />I don't know how hard it is for you to get out the door on your own or if you require assistance with your chair.<br />When you get out, even to a coffee shop, how about politely expressing your opinions to the other patrons?<br />The squeaky wheel gets the grease and we have to squeak louder.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13755018867446972946noreply@blogger.com
