Hi all.
My biggest fear is that if I fall and hit my head will it cause issues. I then worry so much.
I had such an incident recently and it was bad enough to warrant a CT scan.
Luckily it was fine, that was a close call, I've had a major fear of this since day one.
I have found that that are very few real life support groups for those of us that are many years in to recovery.
Sadly the one group nearby is isn't worth attending as it's not the type of support longers like us can contribute to, which is a shame.
One thing I've noticed is the medical teams are keen to wash their hands of us once we are able to cope better, but not fully able to cope without the close support of family and friends, if we have them that is!
There is a word for worrying needlessly so I'm told that word is inappropriate medical behaviour!
For the post above, Swishy, since you are US based you will already know one of the motto's used by the US Marines, that is improvise, adapt and overcome. I use this myself when things get tough.
After all, each challenge is there to be beaten, one way or the other. When you do beat it and do so on your own, it may give you the boost in confidence to help you go even further.
My motto is.
Tomorrow is a new day, what can I do? What will I do and how well can I do it!
Regards...
