Tracy, we all go through a crisis every now and again, due to hormone swings etc, so be easy on yourself and do the best you can with the life you have.  It is all we can do really.

Thank you for that Sue. I think that is a good thing to write and read when Me or anyone of us goes through a tough time.

Tracy, I truly feel that you haven't hit a roadblock though I do feel, as with everyone at some point, as we recover things start to come easier we want to jump ahead by leaps and bounds.I know I felt that way. Don't give up on thinking you are jumping  ahead..

Tracy, scream, if it makes you better. I remember, when I started moving,

and over three weeks was doing great. Every day I go further. One day, I fall

and felt so gutted. I remember as I laid there, " do I give up, has my knee

was b;eeding, and my pride was hurt. God send me a nice young man, who helped me up and put me on

a bench. I took the set back, to make me fight more. Don't you give up, shake it off.

Hi Tracy, I'm just catching up on your blog, it sounds like you've been having a very stressful time. I know it's easier to say than do but try not to beat yourself up, none of us are perfect and we all have times when everything collapses.  So yesterday was bad, get up today and start again, today is a new day. Remind yourself, no one minds how many times you have to start again so long as you don't give up.  Give yourself permission to be less than perfect.

Love and hugs

Hi Tracy, when I read your blog, all of your feelings are important (but like Heather said, don't blame yourself).  Your use of the word "broken" to describe your feelings really resonated with me.  That sums up how I felt years ago after my strokes.....but believe me, dear friend, you have a great deal of strength inside you that you may not be aware of yet.  That strength will show up sooner than you think and kick the *ss of the negative feelings!!  Hugs 

Progress is slow and for me with one hand it is also hard on me but I manage pretty good I think??
