I have pain daily with my back. Its just my normal now. I try to walk above it if that makes any sense. As long as it stays a 5 or 6 I can handle it. I lay down a lot in the afternoon just to get the pressure off. It is what it is. I have learned to make adjustments to my life. I used to love to run around and shop etc. I still can but have decided with my severe arthritis to take up art. I have been drawing and painting for 4 years. It helped and kept my mind off of me!!!

I know its hard with your son but I know you are doing the very best you can. This is not what you wanted for your life. I learned to practice acceptance. I am not always good at that but it helps me to deal with what is.....not fair at all but what can we do? Be grateful for that cute son and all the joy and love you can give him...take care!!!!!!!
