Life is ups and downs, we all must go through them, it's our attitude that counts, your's is terrific, positive and your writes are actually good reading.

Hey! Git yerself some skates and speed up that walker action! Hell you could make the 6 O'clock news. Cuz P

58 isn't that old darlin' :)
I too am the same age...

Walking is healthy keep it
up even if the walker is not
much of a conversationalist

Love and Light

Love the resounding "never give up" in your words, Ed!!! You're awesome! I'm 58 years young too...giggle....

Anna

You're still a wee youngen.
Get out and join your local Kung fu club! :)

I like your attitude. Walking will help you a lot and hopefully you'll be able to get out soon without a walker if you keep it up.

I once applied for disability Social Security because I am and was disabled at the time. To my surprise, they told me I couldn't apply for disability if I was working. Apparently according to the government definition, you can't work with a disability and you can't be disabled unless you aren't working. It's interesting how our lawmakers pass laws and create definitions that don't make any sense.

Anyway, I kept on working until I was 68, and now received normal Social Security. You can do it too.

Be grateful you can walk. Be grateful you're still here. Just don't give up. If you have to go on disability, so be it -- you gave it your best. Be proud in that. I am thankful you are alive.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

You may use a walker now, Ed, but be grateful that you can still walk. Glad you are getting back on your feet! And Ed, I am younger than you and am trying to get on disability. Can't work again. But like you, I'm a fighter and refuse to give up! Prayers continuing! (I have a walker, and I hated that thing; much easier for me to use my crutches!)

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Texas, Karen Lynn. :)

Not old enough to give up - for sure. Keep On Walkin, Bro.

Wow, Ed! You're younger than... ...a lot of folks I know. ☺ You're obviously a fighter since you're out there walking. Good for you. I send you my very best wishes with love, peace, and healing,

Regis

You rock, Ed! Love ya and sending hugs and energy-ish vibes! 8)

That's the spirit! Admiration from Ohio!

Love ya!

Jane

Ed, I am sorry to hear about your difficulties but so proud for you and of you that your spirit is strong and determined to carry you through. God bless you. Be well, Kathy

As it was said in the sixties, "Keep on Trucking," Ed!

Deborah

A positive attitude sure does help, my friend.

Keep at it, Ed - The only way is UP!!!

Nope, you sure don't want to start thinking about giving up. Still, as young as you are (I'm seventy-three, so you are young to me) you have had plenty of medical problems, and this last one laid you up for a good while, in fact you are still more or less laid up. Hang in there, Ed, wishing you the best.
