[QUOTE="Jennji, post: 2287817, member: 527713"] Hi, Well, like you, now is my time to start getting things sorted. So, I can understand how overwhelming things can feel. Firstly, your son, no doubt like his father, is a little fighter. I am so sorry that all of you had to go through so much. As a mother myself, I cannot imagine how difficult it must have been for both you and your wife to deal with things. But thank you for sharing. Never be sorry Or feel bad about expressing your emotions. Emotions of all sorts are avenues for us to process our lives. Maybe not just speaking in her4 but keeping a journal or diary may help you process how your feeling and reducing your stress. I find talking through my issues helps me, even if I am only writing them down for myself. It helps me also to go back sometimes to see how much progress I have made in my previous feelings/emotions. I wish I could give you advice, but I too am just starting my journey and am excited to explore my options. My weight too has been an issue as well and working from home does have downsides, but I find doing small things to start with can help get yourself moving and will help with your legs. Even things like I leave things purposefully upstairs to I have to go up and down more often. I fetch things myself instead of asking others. When I am out and have to wait for things, I pace back and to for extra steps. I am starting to do more garden work Instead of hiring a gardener for things i know I can do myself. Even things like perhaps helping clean /deep clean in your home can help you exercise more if you didn’t already do that. Once you start losing some weight you will have more energy.Getting good sleep will be helpful too. If you have a cpap now, make sure your mask has a good seal. I certainly wish you well, I hope you can get a present A1C So you know where you are starting from. and thanks again for sharing, we all gotta start somewhere, right? Jennji [/QUOTE]
