CAN IT?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭

CHRONIC. DEGENERATIVE It consumes. Slowly. Eventually. It consumes. Our energy. Our bodies. Our minds. And on very very bad days, it even takes our desire to live, because our life as we once knew it, no longer exists. But there is something inside each one of us that is our essence, the energy of our existence, our strength, our will, our wisdom, and it cannot take that.
CAN IT?

Thanks for sharing. I have a bible verse on the wall in my office. John 1:5 "The light shines in the darkness & the DARKNESS can never extinguish it." Whatever your "Darkness" is, you are the light.

I have degenerative disc , I like to reach for an ice pack for 20 min. and lay down.

Then I will sit in a supportive chair wit a cushion for my spine.

I have put a lift 4 inch lift under the chair and the couch.

Makes it so much easier to get up from where I am sitting.
