The good: my cat Emma turns 16!
The bad: it’s the 7th anniversary of my accident. The accident that caused my ankle fracture in 4 places (that later led to amputation) and the cause of my paralyzed neurogenic bladder. It’s a bittersweet day. I’ve found myself a bit depressed. I’m sure I’ll get through it.
 
Everyone here is wishing you the best. As you stated, "I’m sure I’ll get through it." I'm betting you will, too.
 
Happy Birthday to your cat Emma! 🐈 Sometimes the best things in life are the things that love us unconditionally; no matter our struggles or trials.

I was thinking about getting a cat for my significant other. He's been recovering from a relapse and I'm trying to get him more active and doing things and I think a cat might lift his spirits while I'm at work.

I'm sorry it's been that long since your accident. Don't ever dwell on what you cannot take back. The thing that matters most is that your alive no matter the scar or wound. Don't let yourself view yourself differently or others view you differently; it was an accident after all.

You are still you.

Make tomorrow about the good; and we'll be here praying for you.

Blessings,
HC
 
Happy birthday to Miss 🐱Emma!! She has been a great companion for all of these years and there is nothing that can change that!!! She will be with you and love you no matter what you go through!!!
As for the 7th anniversary of that accident, I hope you will find something nice to do, such as being with a friend, or if the weather is half-way decent going somewhere nice, even out for lunch or something like that. But I think the best thing would be to talk to a friend. And remember, your forum is always here!!
 
Bad anniversaries are never easy. This year was 28 years ago when I lost my Father it it is still hard. I slept through my anniversary of finding out how bad I was in 2018. Did not want to relive parts of it.

Have yourself a big Coffee today and remember that you are a survivor.
 
Thanks everyone. I did a lot of waiting around for some things I had ordered (still not here yet. We had a huge snow storm). I also placed my monthly order of a case of MegaMax in black and a case of Northshore supremes. Coffee was had. Probably too much of it. Stomach let me know it wasn’t happy too but no issues and it tasted delicious! Gonna make myself something simple for dinner. Grateful I’ve made it another year. Incontinence was the worst part of my accident. I’ll take amputation over incontinence. But I got both and I’m living with it. It doesn’t stop me from trying new things and being with family and friends.
 
With you talking like that, you are going to be just fine!!! Trying new things and enjoying family and friends is a most positive attitude!!! Keep it up!!! It looks like nothing is going to stop you now!!
 
@justej “I’ll take amputation over incontinence.” Wow :(

My anniversary of the cliff fall is coming up, too: 1/14/15. It’s a hard day but it sounds like you made good conclusions on your day. I hope to find gratitude as well.
