Living in Slow Motion
It's been almost a year since I stopped working and 12 years since I originally injured my back. It is clear that after two surgeries, many injections, and more therapy than I can remember, I'm not getting any better. In terms of the speed in which I live my life, I have been on a gradual decline spanning 12 years. I'm assuming the reason I'm as positive as I am at this point is because it was such a slow decline. Had I been scrubbing and shampooing floors one day and then using a cane and unable to drive the next, I probably would have been fighting some really severe depression. As it is, however, I have been able to slowly learn to appreciate what the world has to offer from a sitting position.

I have become obsessed with trying to figure out how to post a comment. This is a test to see if I finally figured it out.

I am so glad that you are doing this. Your back injury has robbed you of all but minimal mobility but it has not robbed you of your intelligence and creativity. This is a good way to nurture your creative spirit. Go for it!!!
