Citizen Erased Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Oh, CE, sorry to hear that, I didn't know. No one would have guessed it - you're incredibly strong and positive and good-spirited, as opposed to many of the posters who are in perfect health but so very, very bitter. I think you're a perfect example of how it is each one of us who decides how good we want our life to be ultimately, not our genes and what we are born with. You're quite the inspiration... attagirl. Thanks, that's sweet of you to say. Some people don't know how good they have got it, I hope one day they learn that life is too short you know... As for the OP, just be upfront with anyone that you date. If they decide to not continue to date you, that's their decision. Try not to take it to heart, the right person will be there for you.
Author OneFootOut Posted November 6, 2011 Author Posted November 6, 2011 I have had concerns about this since becoming disabled. I am finding it very challenging to find a real person who has a real passion to want to be with me. So far I get what I call sympathy dates nothing more. I agree in that some people do not know how well they got it. I used to be that way and now have a very good understanding of how well I did have it. Although I went through initial depression since becoming disabled I can now laugh and get through the tough stuff easier I can semi walk now and kinda hold my bladder! It's funny how that can become an amazing achievent. I am sure someone in this world is there waiting for people like us we need to keep positive about that and at the same time taking ease that we may be disabled but you can get through it. Brandon, Congratulations on your accomplishments! Not only your physical success walking and holding that bladder, but the emotional and mental strides as well Life sure can throw us around, and change everything in the blink of an eye. But it's absolutely amazing what we can take, and adjust to. I don’t know what you have been through, but there was a time in my life I had to learn to walk all over again as well. Just like an infant, baby steps on wobbly legs. You sound like a strong and determined man, I’m sure you will have even more success as you go.
whichwayisup Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 How old are your kids? I think having a sense of humour about it is a good thing and use that to your advantage! Have faith..I do believe that if you fall for someone and she falls for you, your health issues won't get in the way. Take a chance
