MDJunction to me

ASO1979able"MDJ to me is a safe haven, it's a place where I can be myself and admit my feelings without being ridiculed and made fun of. It's a place where I feel like part of a family instead of an outsider. I feel like my feelings and thoughts are safe here." (ASO1979able)

Hello and long time no talk!

Craziest thing, I must have gotten so busy over the last year I forgot about MDJunction! THEN right before I fell asleep last night, MDJunction was my last thought!

Hopefully now I will remember MDJunction!

I sarted my at home business last spring, it went great over the summer, but crappy during the winter. So I signed up for online classes. I am going to try to get my BA in health care administration!

Our youngest is graduating in a feww weeks. Busy trying to get ready for that!

My prosthetic STILL hurts after 4 years!!! WTH! Going to the prosthetist tomorrow so I will ask again if I am just being a wimp.

Anyway gotta go for now!

TTYS!

Watching the hubs getting fitted for his prosthetic (he never did get it) I don't think anybody going through all that is a wimp. As for graduation plans, I know what a crazy time that is, but a good time too. Have a great day!

There are a bunch of people here that are having trouble with their prothetic's. So don't feel alone. Some are newbies and a few have had them for years. I am just glad that the loss of a finger doesn't require one. But there are an awful lot of things to try and get used too. Try missing your right index finger and learn how to type all over again!

We all have adjustments to adjust to and I hope yours are not too troubling. And welcome back. If you need a good laugh, (we are kind of knuckleheads here and have to have our fun) go read the first amputee annual BBQ.

Any way welcome back and have a nice day
