      From DraconicSoul July 3, 2007

      "Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense." –– Ralph Waldo Emerson May you be filled with love, understanding and forgiveness - - not only for others, but for yourself as well. *hugs* Draco

      "Don't be pushed by your problems; be led by your dreams." Author Unknown I will try to keep this in the forefront of my mind today so that I have a positive goal as I try to do more than just survive the day. My wish for you today is a peaceful calm energy to surround you all you do *hugs* Nettie

      From DraconicSoul June 1, 2007

      Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out. - Robert Collier I will begin and end each day by reaching out to someone else in need to let them know that I care - - this is the small effort I will make until I find myself again amongst the debris of my life. In return, I ask that you might reach out to me when you are in need so I know that I am succeeding in my goal. My wish for you tonight is a restful nights sleep filled with pleasant dreams. *hugs* Nettie

    • Close Depression

      Treatments

      Effexor Somewhat Helpful
      Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
      I have found walking takes my mind off of my worries at least while I'm walking. If I work out hard enough I'm able to sleep!
      Xanax Somewhat Helpful
      I'm sure I have taken this to long (15 years) But can't get off. Can't sleep with out it.
    • Close Back Pain

      re-covering from fusion of good old L-4 L-5. Doing pretty good so far.

      Treatments

      Physical Therapy Not Working
      After about 4 months of therapy for leg pain, the therapist said, oh maybe its nerve damage in your back.
      Spinal Fusion Working / Worked
      had anterior fusion of l-4 L-5 with posterior instrumentation, on 12-05-06. Lots of PT after that. Pretty pleased so far.
