"RSD/CRPS" (Jesphimar)

MDJunction to me

ThereseML"When I first came to MDJ, I was in need of peer support in dealing with issues of my childhood abuse. I was moving away from the painful issues and trying to find an uplifting group of people to help me transition to a thriver in my life. I found that here. I also found a group of peers with Fibromyalgia and found the same uplifting experience there. My computer crashed and it was a while before I found my way back, this time with issues related to Parkinson's Disease. I had tried a few other support sites before reminding myself of MDJ. On those, I never got a reply. I finally found my way back here and again found very supportive, caring and inspiring people who made me feel like I was 'back home'. Indeed I am." (ThereseML)

I went on my own to my sister's daughter's house for Easter. As I thought I should never of went, got hurt leaving. She has a long porch with stairs that are 3 ft apart. She is talking to me as I'm leaving watching where the steps are...well the last step is curved and goes downhill and you cant see it.

Yep, I did it..lost my footing and fell into these huge bushes..then rolled off them , more like flew off them...lol...on my left side hit fist the rolled down the driveway until I came to a halt..

Glad they were there to help me, I couldn't move..hit my head , arm and ribs....feel like crap

Easter wasn't worth that trip...hurting like hell.

But my sister gave me a belated B-Day gift..a pretty short zippered robe, in black. And then a beautiful blue sweater...so pretty to wear for Spring..its a zip up one....so I guess not all was bad..until I lick my wounds and heal..LOL..my nephew had to pick me up..I not able to move..the driveway is on a steep slant...He picked me up like ..so easy...must have lost some more weight...LOL,,....My sis is mad though because she said I look anemic , Have to wait for ins. or maybe go to the cheap clinic...and swallow my pride...hate getting hurt...

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL

Love and Peace, Patty
