    Oh beanie, so sorry its so bad for you. Yes, if you can, find something to help you carpe the diem. Always good, and sometimes thats about saying how horrible things are as well. Hope today is better

    Phew.
    So tired.
    Slept all afternoon.

    You coming down with something?

    So sick & tired of the falling & everything else.

    Try not to let it affect you emotionally. If you fall down, get up. It's something you don't want, but it's something you have. Being upset is not something that will change it, it'll just make living with it worse.

    Just remember to think of the good things you have, and not focus on the bad.

    I wish I was stronger.

    Stronger in which way? Garlic and curried beans - they'll make you strong... ;)

    Carp diem.

    Is that latin for "Crap day" or "Seize the fish"?

    Some good advice from ZTD there Beanie. Wish I could think of something that would make you feel better. Has your doctor done anything to help?

    Hope you perk up soon xx

    This is the reality for disabled people in our society today.
    Makes me sad to be disabled & to be a human being.
    I have a pain in my heart.
    Please watch it. Thank you.
