ZeeZee,

I know that for most of us our meds are that
'one life perserver' that when it seems that so many other things are not working in our lives we know what to expect from our meds.(or at least most of the time)

I also have seen people be able to do things in their lives that noone else thought they could do. Was it because of the meds.. or just a combo of lots of things?

I will probably never run a 10K marathon nor will I ever travel to see the Panama Canal because of my mobility chair. For those who have already or may do these activities someday, I am in awe.

Each of us has our own strengths and limitations. If taking any medication for the rest of our lives helps us to have what WE consider a better life than we should do so. The key is having a doctor who will work with you to maintain your independence and good health for as long as possible.
As we all age, we will also be subject to all the 'normal' maladies that everyone else has
as the body ages; all will need to be figured into the whole person.

I try to live for and enjoy today and keep hope for my future. I cant share the details of my personal past with my patients because it is not etchical and would interfer with the nurse-patient theraputic relationship.

Sometimes its hard to leave that N-P realtionship behind and just chat with others as friends.
There too are also vulnerabliity issues that that 'professional distance' provides.

Maybe I will make ONE New Years resolution:

To find a few honest but supportive person that I can let that vulernablity down and just be me..

Still thinking about it.... :)
