I'm Skylar, new in town. I was googling and found this place. Looking for a place to chit chat and meet new folks online.

I am learning to walk again after my ex husband fractured my back and I landed in this wheelchair. *Walking isn't easy, don't take it for granted, trust me on that one.*

I have RGO braces and elbow crutches so I'm on my way, but for now I'm in this chair more than on my feet.

I live in the Smoky Mountains, Tn, just moved here and have no friends and don't want any. I'm sick of getting backstabbed and used by false ones.

Anyway. Besides that, life is good and the weather is nice.:-6

Hiya and welcome;)I was so sorry to hear of your problems......I was quite bad a few years ago and couldn't move for 6 months and my muscles wasted away and I had to learn to walk again and build the muscles up again and with a slip disc I can tell you it was no picnic........I can imagine the pain you are going through as I was suicidal with the pain and compared to your problems mine was nothing...hope your life changes for the best now and you enjoy posting on here.

Slipped discs are no fun. My dad has them in his neck and complains alot.

I'm not suicidal *as much* anymore. At times I get frustrated and want to give up, lie down and die. but part of me that keeps me going is to walk again despite the ******* and what he did to me.

I'm still working on my anger and bitterness. My words are sharp at times.

This place is big, one of the biggest forums I've ever been on, and I've only been on a few. I like the cyber world.

Thanks again everyone.

Thanks again everyone.You have been through the mill girl thats for sure and the pain you are going through in your body and mind must be so damn hard for you.Anger and bitterness hopefully will pass with time and the memories hopefully wont be so fresh in your mind.You have been through so much that your entitled to feel what you are feeling right now......Im putting here a poem for you......read the words.....hope this helps in some small way

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit-

Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a fellow turns about

When you might have won had he stuck it out.

Don't give up though the pace seems slow -

You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than

It seems to a faint and faltering man;

Often the struggler has given up

When you might have captured the victor's cup;

And you learned too late when the night came down,

How close you was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -

The silver tint in the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

It might be near when it seems afar;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -

It's when things seem worst that YOU MUST NOT QUIT!!!

Hi Skylar, I am sorry that you've gone through tough times, glad that you are doing better.

Like someone already said, cyber friends are great....I understand the back-stabbing friends, been there way too many times myself...

Welcome!:-6

Even though it's been awhile, I still have dreams. But knowing he's locked up makes me feel safer.

You all are very kind, I think I am going to like it here.

Thanks for the welcome.

Hi Skylar, welcome to the Garden. You are bound to find something that you like in this garden, there are so many lovely people, so many different things that they talk about. There are plenty of games to play as well. You will find a lot of the members on here can be really hilarious, and such fun, and there is always somebody who can offer a shoulder for you to cry on if you need it, or an ear to listen, and to offer comfort and kind words - they're such a good bunch of people, with hearts in the right place.

Just a warning though ----- Forum Garden is very addictive !!! But that is no bad thing ! :wah:

By the way, there is the Arcade, you can click on 'Arcade' in the green band at the top of the page, lots of fun on there ----- also a warning that Arcade can be very addictive

:-6

Once again Sky - WELCOME TO FORUM GARDEN !!!

Skylar · Post by **Skylar** » Sun Apr 20, 2008 5:26 am

Thanks G#Gill. I have a very addicitive personality. Finally it can be used for a good reason.:wah:

I have a question. How do I change my avatar? I want to use one of my own. And I tried to post some pics I took but I have to wait til I get more posts, same with music.

Thanks for telling me about the arcade!!

There are a few of us that have been there or close to there at some point... I can say that I personally have been close to being there so many times that it's ridiculous... despite all that I can tell you that I've always made a comeback, even when the odds were against me on one occasion. Also, regarding cyberland... it's still no more immune to backstabbing than irl... it does happen.

If you're even the slightest bit like me you won't need any sympathy as you're likely just focused on getting back to @ss kicking shape asap! I wish you all the best luck with that... just don't push the envelope too much and hold up your progress, either... my addictive personality gets me into trouble that way more often than not if I push it too hard. I can blame all of my sports related injuries on that alone. It can be a long, hard, slow process, but do take the time and do it right.

Oh, and the doctors aren't always right, either... after awaking from a coma of several months, I was told by doctors that I'd be paralyzed from the waist down for the rest of my life... that lasted about two days when I got up and walked to the bathroom in the wee hours... after nearly a year and a half of physical therapy I was running marathons. :p

Anyway... welcome to the Garden! This is an excellent place to hang out whilst you focus on recuperation.

I don't get too close to anyone, that way they can't hurt me. Safe that way.

No, the last thing I want is sympathy.What is done is done and I cant change that, neither can anyone else and any sympathy would just drag me down.

I am trying to get past it and walk again to spite him. If I give up he wins.Know what I mean?

I do however drink more then I have ever before. I crawl in the bottle for comfort.

I have pushed myself too hard physically, and you're right, kicking mah own butt wasn't worth it.

Wow, that's awesome, good for you!

:-4 It is beautiful there, I'm not too far from there. I've been to Newfoundlands Gap and Clingman's Dome so far. Breathtaking. I'll post pics soon I took there. and some from Ny I took when I lived there if anyone would care to see them.

I love the weather here. and it is a beautiful place to live.
