It sounds like the pendulum is finally starting to swing in the other direction. Getting out and about and involved in life again is a big step, though at first it can be frustrating because of how weak you feel. But daily excursions and contact with positive healthy people has a healing effect. Even if it just takes your mind off of things for a while, there is a positive physical response to being part of the world again. Soon the good days will out number the bad.

I thank you for the kind words about the site, but while I pay the bills, and write the educational pages, it is the population of caring people that come here routinely to help others that deserve most of the credit. They are the heart and soul of OCF
