I was able to spend some quality time with my younger son today. We caught enough fish to make it interesting and thanks to some very kind people, we were able to fish a private pond for bass and bream.
I noticed that my hands are less functional. Tying fishing knots is still possible, but takes patience. I can see that much patience will be needed in the upcoming months....
I can also see that even without the capacity to perform that the desire for physical activity will remain.
What do other Pals do to get rid of that extra anxiety and nervous energy when they cannot be mobile? Is medication the only outlet as we deteriorate?
I am afraid that I have skipped around within the stages of grieving. The Denial phase has been long lasting for me. As the symptoms become more severe, though, I can no longer avoid the presence and reality of this illness. I hope that the acceptance phase comes soon. This is a tough one. I appreciate that this community is here. It is a comfort.
This might belong in the Rants and Raves catagory? Thanks for letting me share my feelings.
