Transitions--difficult to accept some times.

Independence is precious. My arms have become weaker and no longer support my weight well for transfers. I have requested a lift for night use when I'm in my weakest state--both physically and mentally. I get feeling down when these changes in my body continually rob me of any independence. However I soon adjust and get back to enjoying life.

The day will come when I will find it difficult to accept major changes--that's when family, friends and Care Aides will play a big role in helping me stay jovial. So far they've stepped up to the plate every time so I'm confident it will continue.

"Friendship makes prosperity more brilliant, and lightens adversity by dividing and sharing it."
-- Cicero (44 B.C.)
