Dear LindyLou,
You have definitely done a Good, no, a Great job! Thank you for sharing your story with us. It is amazing what a parent can overcome for the sake of her/his children. You were right to fight through it all. They needed you. And you needed them. I have not been tested like you have. As such, I am left to wonder if I would be as strong and courageous. My mother raised us after divorcing my father when I was still a baby. When people told her they admired her courage, she would say, "I was not courageous. I was scared all the time." But of course, that is the definition of courage -- being scared and doing it anyway. You have so much joy ahead of you, but that is not to deny what must be not infrequent sadnesses and struggles. This is a wonderful community for being lifted and helping to lift others, as the case may be. Welcome.
Sounds like you have been through a lot!
i had a bleed which paralyse my left side over 10 years ago and the same issue can't tie my hair up can't peel vegetables !
It's very annoying but you just have to get on with it don't you
How do you cope with your hair? X
You've got your hands full Lindy, no mistake. I was also a single parent (but before my BI and with full use of my limbs) and it was hard !
You're doing a great job by the look of things, especially in light of your sad loss and other issues. And despite your obvious frustrations and difficulties, you're having to be twice the woman you've ever been. I wish I could pat you on the back & give you a great big hug m'dear.............(sending cyber ones instead). Cat xx
