You sure better be making A LOT of medals Others have posted my exact feelings and I sure couldn't say them any better, but I would like to say a couple different things. You commented that who will catch the football with your kids cuz you have no coordination due to your eyes. Since my muscular dystrophy and arthritis have gotten worse (I'm only 39), I can't play baseball with my girls anymore--I can't hold the bat tight enough to swing and I can't run. It sucks. I know the pain of feeling like you'll be missing. The best I can do is sit and watch and encourage them. I have to wear braces on my legs and for a while I didn't wear them in the summer with shorts and I didn't wear them when I would be around the girls' friends, until they both asked why I wasn't wearing them and I said I didn't want to embarrass them. They were so angry at me. "I guess the people that would say anything aren't friends so we don't care." Out of the mouths of babes! I in know way know what you're going through but I want you to know you aren't going through it alone. You can rant and rave and be angry to me all you want because I know the anger and frustration I personally go through with my limitations. Just know you are so not alone and are never ever a bother. I will listen and when you need help, I will help you all I can from pc.
