Leah,

Enjoy your garden dear lady! Bet it's gorgeous.

As to the wheelchair anxieties; I understand. Try as we might, we may never get to the pre-stroke days of zipping around like energizer bunnies. In our dreams we still can and those days are a part of fond memories. Do I like that I can't zip around? Heck NO but it is better than the alternative and all could be worse for us. When I must use my wheelchair, I try to get it through my thick skull that it is for safety reasons. In a store for instance, if people are rushing, kids are running it's easy for us to knocked into. I don't know about others, if I get bumped, this Weeble topples over.

I'm sure your story will come together for you. I sincerely hope too that it will allow you the opportunity to move further along in your recovery emotionally.

I'm sure blessed that you made it through all of it - my life has been further enriched getting to know you.

(((hugs)))

Hugs back @ you Donna. You have been a big inspiration for me. It is so wonderful to know that we are not alone. Tonight I kinda felt like it and was sad but when I saw your reply it gave me a BIG life and put me right back to where I need to be...in the moment.

Leah,

Your garden sounds wonderful! Isn't this time of year just the best??? The beauty of Spring is that it can also be a time of renewal for us, too.

The vacation spot sounds great. I hope you are able to go. The swine flu is a big concern worldwide.

Your garden sounds similar to what I am trying to achieve. Where you dont have to replant every year. My Columbine are up and my Lillies and so much This year I have added Clematis Add a couple hanging pots we are good to go. We are seriously looking to becoming Snow Birds . The winters here add so much to the pain level. I am so ready for the boat. Hugs Leah Enjoy Gods Garden Karen

hey Leah:

I agree 100% with Donna. nobody like to be in wheelchair, but better safe than sorry. your God's garden sounds beautiful, just reading about it gives me peace, I bet you will get lot out of it sitting & reading in it. by the time you are ready for ur vacation swine flu might be in control, who knows what tomorrow might bring.

Thanks everyone for your comments, comfort and support. It is SO good to know I am not alone.
