I'm sorry your feeling so down Bobbie. I know you've gone through al ot. Your Dad & a never ending sore. I can't relate to being in bed from a sore (not yet). I think, like others have suggested that you need to talk to your dr. for anti-depressants. In the mean time have some BEERS!!!! and play the MUSIC loud!!! Dianna

We could talk to each other good or bad ~ we were there for each other. Today all have either moved away or died. Dose anybody have any ideas as to how I can find another quad friend? I REALLY need to talk to a fellow quad, and soon. I just can't stop crying. I've been stuck in bed since February and am now starting to get up, but as strange as it may sound, I find it easier to stay in bed I get into a routine. But once I start getting up it's in drubs and drabs. When I'm up and the weather is nice, I see everyday normal people doing all the things I can't. Or hearing about where they've been or where there going to be doing. I can't make plans. Every time I make plans for the near future, the rug can be pulled out from under me at a movements notice because of a goddam sore on my butt that is super fiscal but enough to ground me. I can only ride in my van once a week because the bumps in the road cause irritation on my butt. I use to drive but now I can't same reason as I just mentioned. Pete is doing more and I'm doing less. I'm just existing, not LIVING. I want to die!

I'm so sorry you feel this way. I can totally relate to how you feel. I've been in bed for 1 1/2 years with a pressure sore. I just started getting up a few weeks ago. I get the frustration of not being able to make plans due to the unpredictability of my body. I've felt at times it's easier to stay in bed. My attendant will be here any minute so I can't spend as much time today talking with you. But I wanted you to know your not alone. Please try and hang in there and I'll get back in touch with you tomorrow. Your in my prayers. If I can help you, I will.
