Struggle with attitude
Posted February 1, 2012 by azure13 in Health
I have been struggling with self-pity for several months now. When I was first injured and even when I was diagnosed with disabling illness, I felt determined to live a good life nonetheless. But lately, all I can think about is the past and how much I miss being able to do all the things I used to be able to do. My attitude has become the biggest disability and I just can't seem to get past it no matter how determined I am.

Lately, I've been getting sick a lot. And in addition to that, it just seems like Murphy's Law prevails in my life. I am starting to feel as if the Universe is out to get me. The more determined I am to overcome, the more determined it is to bring me down with one problem after another. Am I really doing battle? Sounds crazy, I know, but this IS how it feels. I know it has to be me and my attitude.

Today, I got online to find people like me, struggling to accept a new life without their previous capabilities. I have no idea if anyone will even read this. And if they do, will they just think I'm nuts. I don't mind commiseration for sure but I would really like to hear from someone else that's gone, or is going, through this. How are you helping yourself? How are you coping? I have all the support I need for my physical health, none of it really helping, but at least it's getting attention. But as for the mental struggles of adjusting to a disability, not much help at all and this seems like a bigger problem than my body.

Our skin.

I always worry about pressure sore so I make a point of changing positions often and using the correct cushion. So far I been very lucky and never had one. Hygiene is extremely important as clean skin will not break down as easily. What I recently learned was how important it is to have plenty of fluids each day, staying hydrated plays a big role on ones skin who is either bedridden or sitting in a wheelchair. I always take time to check my skin when bathing. Should you ever see a break down the doctor should be called immediately. I am now forcing myself to dink water everyday.

OCTOBER 2011.

My sister and I were in a car accident Monday. It really brought home the fact that life is short and can be taken away in the blink of an eye. Were both extremely fortunate that we did not die in the accident. Death is something I rarely thought about but now its a common thought in my mind. We only get one go around in life and we all need to make the most of it. So chase your dreams and enjoy every moment of life because non of us know how long will be here to rock the world.

About Terence Walton
Posted September 14, 2011 by TerenceW1960 in Health, Family & Home
My name is Terence Walton and I was born disabled and walk with clutches through my school and my working years. Then I started gaining weight due to lack of exercise and bad eating habits. I became confide to a wheelchair and on a fixed income (SSD).

Now I spend most of my day working with my Internet business creating residual income for my family and I. My goal is to provide financial freedom, take long vacations, and not have to worry about where the next dollar is coming from.

In my search for a program that will meet my goal of financial freedom, I finally found what I was looking for. It is a community of 4 programs of which 3 of the programs allowed you to become a free member and if you choose, upgrade with a one-to-time fee. That’s right, no monthly or annual fee. The four programs work hand-in-hand together and provide the opportunity to build a down line, advertise, email to over 15,000 opted in members and create a steady residual income with live on-line training and Skype support chat room.

The owner is a great guy and is very into helping his members achieve their personal and financial goals. He has recently added a great new program that will not only increase my residual income potential but more importantly, my health. It’s a nutritional and cleansing program and I was so excited about it after viewing the videos and reading about it, that I had to enroll immediately so I can start on my new goal of losing 100 pounds and make money too.

Losing this weight will help me walk again with the aid of clutches, and ride in a car instead of a wheelchair accessible van. I will be able to become more functional without the dependence of a wheelchair.

Thanks for reading!
