I feel very, very blessed to be in excellent health.  The only thing I would change is to knock some of this extra weight off, which I am in the process of doing.  So far, I have not had any adverse effects from excess weight, but I'm not going to push My luck.

I really feel for those in pain.  I had a back injury due to a car accident in My early twenties and have had flare-ups from time to time.  In 2003, I had a flare-up so bad that I literally could not get out of bed one day.  Fortunately, with the help of a good chiropractor, I got off the pain medications after only two visits, and was back to My old self in no time.  I now do yoga stretches regularly and find they help keep My back flexible and free of pain.

About 6.5 years ago  Christmas Eve 1999, I was in a head on collision with a young woman that was passing cars on a 2 lane highway trying to get home for Christmas.  We were going the opposite direction when our cars became intimate with each other.  I was going 60 and I assume she was going 60+ if she was passing cars.  The whole thing culminated in a fatality ( my mother) 2 minor injuries ( my sister and my daughter) and 2 major injuries mine and the other drivers.  I suffered a crushed ankle/heel crushed rotary joint and almost every bone in my foot was dislocated, a ripped tendon an exposed artery and nerve I had several lacerations and more aches and creaks than you can shake a stick at.  I spent 2 weeks in the hospital and 2.5 years in a wheelchair and 3 years with an open wound.  I was told that because of the nature of my lower extremity injuries I would most likely never walk again.  Glad to say I made my doctors liars, I can walk just fine although I have a great deal of swelling and being on my feet more than 4 hours at a pop causes more pain than anyone should have to endure.  I now have arthritis in my ankle and I think it is moving up to my hip...but I can't let that stop me, just pop a few advil every few hours as needed and keep going.  So yes, I have a physical disability, but I tend to push thru the pain and continue to do what I do.  It doesn't stop me nor hinder me from anything I desire.  Hell I just spent a week in Vegas walking from hotel to hotel and plan on doing it again soon....and YES it hurt like a MF but what are you going to do....gotta keep living.

I was in a car accident back in 86 and since then have had 21 back surgeries and 10 left knee surgeries with a total knee replacement.  I also have an implant that helps to control the pain in my lower back and left leg.  I was in a wheelchair for almost a year, but now, I can do pretty much what i want with very few limitations.  anyway, just my 2 cents worth...

Just a quick reminder that all illnesses/disabilities etc. are not necessarily all physical in nature. Some are psychological as well. Mental illness is often overlooked as being a serious ailment that can have dire consequences for the afflicted individual.

I have seen a rash of posters on Collarme who have medical issues. Everything from mild to severe. Perhaps I'm naive in some ways, but I do feel for those with illness/injury that they have not brought upon themselves.

This is a multi-choice poll.. so free to answer more than one of the choices.

Even if you are not in pain, feel free to take a hug. I got tons of 'em. :)

Celeste


I had gastric bypass surgery august 6th, 2002 and weighed 474 lbs. In one year I got down to around 198.  Then different things starting happening and complications came up. 1. Tripple Hernia 2. Colapsed Colon 3. Bowl Resection 4. Stomach Ulceration & Stomach Pouch Repair 5. Seizures 6. Fainting Spells 7. Temporary Renal failure 4 times, 8. Sever problems keeping hydrated and had to do IV therapy at home 3 months and now  9. pancrease failure, i produce insulin but can't digest my food without pancrease enzyme pills. 10. MRSA a wicked staph infection from the hospital 3 times once in blood, once in heart and once in kidneys. Because of kidney problems and not being able to void on most days i weigh up and down daily between 289 to 311.  I have my good days, and can function on most things and I have my bad days and all i can do is sit and rest or sleep.

i recently did a BDSM cleansing to help me with all of my anger issues with being sick. Should i have done it? No .....but did i need it? YES. And Master was carefull to push me as far as He thought it was safe and stayed away from my kidneys....but I still had horible "drop zone" and "recovery time" in bed for two days.  But i want to stress that i begged for the cleansing, my collar back and it greatly helped my moral, made me more mindfull of my place....i am still a slave even though i can't do everything like i use too.

i do not seek pitty, i do not want sympathy, i do not want empathy, i just wanted to share what i go thru mentally for understanding purpose only.

thanks for the great topic.

sincerely,
jezabel{KH}

Hi, all. I realize this is slightly off topic; but it is the closest I have seen thus far in my perusal of the forums and I need some feedback. Very recently someone important to me was in an accident. I do not have many details; but my friend was unconscious for awhile, woke up, seemed to be doing well and was told they would never walk again. A couple of  weeks later, this friend slipped into a coma, having stated if they could not serve and were to be a burden to others, they did not want to live. Everyone is telling me to walk away from it, to let it go because my friend has no desire to live. I do not know what hospital my friend is in or have any way to contact them directly; and third party contact isn't sufficient in this matter. Anyone have any suggestions how to cope with the worry and stress or even how to help my friend win a battle that is self-induced? The injuries were not life threatening and friend was recovering well until the doctor said walking was no longer an option.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

i was diagosed with gall bladder/liver cancer almost 4 years ago, a very aggressive type of cancer that is normally about 95% fatal. after 4 surguries (fileted for the liver surgury), chemo and radiation therapy, i am currently cancer-free. the docs won't say im cured until i pass the five year point, but my oncologist introduces me as "the man who shouldn't be here", which always gives me a kick. i am currently in great health (for an old man, lol) and i no longer take anything for granted. life is great, live it as fully as you can.

Every time I get an MRI the Doc looks me right in the eye and says you can't walk, there is too much damage to your spinal cord. I smile and walk out. It could be I am just too mean to lie down, but even when I couldn’t walk I crawled real cool. If your friend can wiggle a toe (even if he/she can't feel it wiggle) he/she can assert her will and walk again.

I was in a M/c accident 14 years ago Memorial day weekend, it was My own fault as I was Very Drunk, High & doing between 110 & 130 MPH...
This resulted in Me having multiple injuries ie broken ribs, punctured lungs, severed aorta, torn rotator cuff ,My right leg broken in several places with three non-healing unions to this day...
I'm disabled but I don't feel sorry for Myself, I fiercely protect the little independence I still have...
The one thing I say most often is "I'm Handicapped, NOT Helpless"
I'm not saying it's not rough but I do the Best I can w/what I have... It's also made it impossible to find a slave that I'd want to serve Me even though I'm still the same person as iIwas before My accident...

I guess I'm one of the "lucky" ones.  I battled degenerative discs and herniated discs for several years, and finally developed what's called a Grade II Spondylolithesis.  (don't worry, I can't say it either!)  My spine was shifting and compressing my spinal cord, I had terrible pain and numbness in my legs for 2 years.  I finally found a GOOD neurosurgeon (forget the orthopedic guys) and had 3 vertebrae fused with screws and rods, etc. this past January. 

It was a tough recovery at first, but now I feel like a million bucks, like there was never a problem.  I'm doing my own yard work, I'm back to work full-duty, I'm chasing a new puppy around, have no limitations at all, and there's nothing I don't do now "because of my back" like I did for three years.  No one was more terrified of surgery than I was, believe me.....now I'm sorry I didn't do it a year sooner instead of suffering and screwing around with injections and physical therapy.  (Don't get me wrong, those are good treatments, but my particular problem was beyond the scope of what they can fix).

I send a hug to all of you who are battling an illness or injury, and to those who have beaten their illnesses!

I have Multiple sclerosis.  Somedays I'm great and can get up and move around alot and have energy.  Somedays getting up to use the bathroom is hard.  i take 25 pills and a shot everyday for it.  i've been on chemo for it, nothing works.  But I'm still alive.  The only thing I regret is I can't do everything with my 3 year old son, and I can't do some of the things I used to do. (housework I DON'T miss!)  Along with the disease has come some mental problems due to stress.....severe depress (hospital 3 times this year so far), bi polar....bleh bleh bleh.   but I try to keep an eye on the latin phrase Vita mutatur, non tollitur - Life is changed, not taken away........

I was in a car accident back in '92 and had a sideways whiplash.
My Honda Accord was side-swiped by a semi-truck that left
wheel marks all down the driver's side of the vehicle, shattered
the mirror and pushed in the front fender.
 
Along with that I have had other back and leg injuries.  So
mild to severe pain on a daily basis is My lot in life.  The regular
doctors just shove painkillers at you that turn the mind to mush
and you stumble around like a damn zombie.  The Hell with that!
 
I have a great chiropractor and eat right, exercise, take care of
myself and just use ibuprofen to get through the day and night.
If I start getting muscle spasms in My back it is time for the
heat packs and a visit to a massage therapist.  The migraines from
the car accident still happen from time to time but at least now
you can get over the counter medications without a prescription.
 
Life goes on and the tough keep fighting.

I was told I wouldn't walk again either.  I am too stubborn to believe that.  The only physical therapy that was perscribed for me was while I was in the hospital to help me with getting from bed to wheelchair and using a walker to hop around.  I prescribed my OWN physical therapy, by quitting my desk job took a huge cut in pay and started working at a restaurant.  It FORCED me to be on my feet and have to walk.  I did this for 2.5 years and pushed thru the pain.  It probably wasn't the best thing in the world for me to do...but it helped me physically, mentally and emotionally.  Perhaps it would help thru third party if you were to print up some of these testimonials and send them to your friend.  Oh and make sure she knows that walking does not make you a good slave.....it is a mental commitment you have to make.  Yes she will find that she is discriminated against by some DOMINANTS but that that doesn't kill us makes us STRONGER and I know of no stronger people than submissives and slaves.
