Well I decided I would post here today. I haven't posted for quite a while. But I feel that I just had to say hi. I have had a couple of years of health problems and near depression. (I say near because I was at a low point and managed to turn things around although I still can't talk about our loss without pain). I fell on ice and sprained my ankle 2 years ago and just as that was going away I developed a shoulder problem that became frozen shoulder. And then in May when we lost a grandchild to SIDS. But 3 months ago I joined a gym with a fantastic personal trainer that has helped me rehab my shoulder much more than physio was doing. And as a bonus it helped me become more active and get back on my bike late this past summer. Being physically active and getting outside has really helped. And I have to say that reading this forum over the last few months has helped. I guess it is true that misery loves company?;-) Actually it is more knowing that I am not alone in my struggles and taking encouragement from others. I probably won't post again for quite a while but I do read often. I always want to say encouraging things to others because I am glad to see people making progress with their challenges but I can never seem to find the words right now. But it will get easier. I have so many blessings in my life that I can just keep moving forward. Sorry for this long ramble but it is the first time I have shared what happened with anyone other than close family and friends.
