I appreciate that and hear the hotline number everytime I call the Veterans. I was struggling, not because of self doubt or depression, no one really knows me on here, but I like to think I’m pretty strong mentally, it’s carried me through a cancer scare, a children’s home, raising my brothers and sisters (three of which are no longer here), being kidnapped, in military and so on. I always tell my son, I’ll write a book one day, but don’t think anyone would believe me. My struggle was and is, that I can’t do the things I use to do physically. Hard for someone like me. Sorry if I made anyone think otherwise.

Glad to hear you're good. I know what it's like to not be able to do the things I used to do...

I was worried that I was maybe over-reacting and maybe offending you, but you know the drill: when I was still a VA employee, I knew never to tiptoe away from statements that might have indicated serious depression or even suicidality. If I had done so, I would probably have been suspended without pay, if not fired outright, and rightfully so.

Anyway, here's hopes that the surgeons will be able to fix you up enough to where you can get back to living your life as you'd like to!

I understand every bit of that, another one of my stories, I had a roommate one time at Little Creek, that was a Seal and struggled with stuff at the time, worried a lot. That’s one of the reasons I like you, strong female. Thank you very much.

A year ago I couldn’t sit up in bed by myself, stand up and much less walk. But believing in the power of Jesus and physical therapy I can now do all those things and even take a shower by myself 😃. Point is you can do anything with faith and determination. I have confidence you will get better because of the people that love you.
