Amazing what you have done and how far you've come!
I know the mind is extremely powerful, as is the self-healing ability of the body.
It is actually infinite.
I learnt this from Dr Joe Dispenza. Many who have done his work have healed from stage 4 cancer!?! Also from stroke, being (partly) paralysed, MS and whatnot.
I have started his work a few times, but I always lose motivation/inspiration after some 2-3 months. Like with working a 9-5 job as I told before where I get bored within the same timeframe, I also have this with healing work.
I know from what Joe Dispenza says this is the exact time where you have to follow through. If you do, you're there.
Stupid thing is, I just forget. And then think a week later, "Chit, I haven't done anything anymore?!!"

In spite of my limitations I do a lot myself as well in and around the house. Being single, you have no choice, right?
Sometimes I have to get help in though, volunteers as like you I can't afford to get paid-for help in.
And funny enough much of what I do myself works fine, doesn't bother me much physically?
A few years ago I had to put up a new 7m long gutter on the garage. I'd never done anything like that, normally your man does that, hihi.
But I did it, didn't bother my neck/shoulders at all, which was quite unbelievable! But I was so proud of myself that I got it done and that it worked perfectly as well!
I have yet to finish of the gutter on the other side. Half of it is done.

Roofing I wouldn't do. Too heavy for me. I also have an issue with raising my arms up. Anywhere above shoulder height approx. makes my muscles cramp and triggers my neck.
But I have a council house so that kind of thing I don't have to do myself anyways. I just phone them to tell them XYZ is broken and they sent someone over to fix it.

I hope you manage to get or have it done without too much trouble!!

I could get a parking thing for invalids too a few years ago. But for me there's no real added benefit. Yes, parking in town would be easier I guess, but I hardly ever go into town. I'd get a traffic sign on/near my driveway, which I do not want, hihi.
But I'm on welfare as I wasn't working at the time of my accident, not disability benefit (which is substantially higher than welfare).
Since I'm in the welfare system I cannot get permanent exemption from working/applying for jobs. I can only get 1 or 2yr exemption. Last time I got 2 years, which ends this April, meaning I'll again have to go to my manager and convince him I haven't healed and still cannot work. Sigh...
Always stresses me out as when they decide I can work I'm b*ggered.

I still have my dreams and hopes for the future though! I want to be free of that welfare system, be my own independent self, travel, have a wonderful partner.
Give online courses on the masculine & feminine principles, sell paintings and meditations and so on.

For that I'll have to get myself on track again. Spend about a year on getting balance in hormones after becoming post-menopausal. I started HRT last year (hormone replacement therapy). Takes time to get a balance, not there yet. I do hope it will alleviate my issues. If so, then I can begin to do stuff. Maybe. If I have the guts, hihi.

thanks... to me it's simply a choice.. be reliant on the system (that's broken) and others (that have their own chit to deal with) OR.. on myself.. I choose me is all..

I didn't get any inspiration from any DR's or books etc.. it, like I said, was a personal decision NOT to accept the limitations others put on me.. it was a choice I made to improve myself & life.. after all.. I was a single mom of 2 without family or help so.. as I had only me to rely upon.. I stepped up..

I still have 3 herniated discs.. the dr's said they couldn't operate on them as too risky so.. I do what I need to when they act up.. and of course.. try not to get them agitated enough to act up LOL

more similarities I see.. like you, I accept my limitations, to a point.. in other words.. I know when to stop and leave things until tomorrow.. aside from the shoveling and lawn mowing.. my OCD kicks in there laugh

I have a LOT of trouble asking for help.. I guess I feel that everyone else has a life, is busy, has their own chit to do etc.. and I feel I'm imposing on them.. so I typically don't ask..

actually for the roof.. my only issue is the height.. I have veritgo.. laugh

so climbing up 20' off the ground will be an issue for me.. setting up the 18' long joists won't be cuz I've already worked out (in my mind) how I can put the 2 of'em up without help.. along with the 14' cross beams.. it's installing the plywood and tiles where I'll have problems.. but I'm sure I'll figure something out.. I'll have to huh laugh

I hope all that works out for you Crystal.. that sucks you have to go thru hurdles every few years.. but I'm sure you'll set yourself up with some independent income to lighten your load..

Vertigo? I also had that! Once had a dizzy spell. I was asleep but even in sleep I suddenly felt very dizzy, spinning, and it woke me up. I opened my eyes and saw the entire bedroom spin around me?!!
Scared the chit out of me as didn't know what was going on. Was I having a stroke? Or was it again because of my neck injury?
Thank goodness no stroke, haha.
But took me 1,5 yrs to recover from it. Unreal!
Since then I do get dizzy quite regularly. Usually not too bad, but annoying nonetheless. Right now it's worse as I pulled a muscle in my lower back on Tuesday and my entire back & neck are out of whack.

I also have to take into account what my body/neck can handle. Bummer is that I don't feel it in the moment but about 30mins later. So I have to try to remember and decide when I have to stop while I still feel okay. Not easy. I easily think "Mwah, another 10 mins!" Then there's another 10 and before I know it I've done too much again :/

I don't like asking for help either. Same as you, others already have enough on their plate as it is. Another thing is that I know a lot of people but not really well enough to ask them for help. Sometimes I do, depending on what it is.
But the volunteer thing to help people is okay. I don't feel the same hesitance with that, although I still try to sort it myself first.
According to dating coaches many women have trouble asking for help by the way... It has to do with being able to receive and feeling worthy to receive etc.

I hope you get the roofing done without too much trouble!
For myself I hope to find a really great guy! I'd so love to have this wonderful man by my side, hand in hand, in love :D

my vertigo doesn't want to leave me alone.. ohwell

I can't even watch someone on a hi-wire act or standing on a cliff looking down etc.. sends me for a loop and I have to look away.. frustrated

royal pain in ma tooshie.. laugh

wow.. sorry to hear about you pulling a muscle.. that hurts like the dickens when it throws everything outta whack.. been there.. happens to me too.. usually targets my mid back first.. and when I usually force myself to stop and relax for a bit..

for me it's mostly bruises.. I only notice them after the fact.. next day I'll be like "where the heck did YOU come from?" or "how/when did that happen?" laugh

it could be "not feeling worthy" for me but I typcially feel like it's more "not wanting to impose on others".. my dad used to say "try figuring out a different way of doing things so you don't pester others" which is probably why I come up with a lot of weird/wild solutions to problems.. that and he often said "there are no problems in life.. only solutions" and probably why I'm a pretty inventive solutions finder biggrin

for me a best friend would be great.. if it evolves into something else? awesome.. if not? all good winking

For me things like being dizzy are related to both position and the state of my neck.
My osteopath has helped me a lot ever since my accident in 2012, but then I found a cranio facial therapist who often has success with treating tinnitus. Which I also have.
She worked on me for a year and boy did that make a difference! Tinnitus hadn't gone, which is apparently harder when you've had it for a long time like me. But my neck and shoulders had improved so much, and with that my head too.
I was hardly ever dizzy anymore, less neck pain and whatnot.
I did something wrong and wanted another appointment. Unfortunately she herself has had a bad accident and is recovering from a serious concussion. Could be months before she can work again (already has been 4 months), and then there's a waiting list a mile long. If she can ever work again.
After all, that's how I got into this chit: a bad concussion.
So for now it's back to my osteopath who is wonderful but cannot work my neck/head/shoulders the way this one particular cranio facial therapist could.

Telling you that cause maybe you could do something like that too for the vertigo.
Alternatively you could try acupressure yourself for it. I do that too. It's a matter of finding that one point that works for you but it can often bring relief.
Of late I work with Bladder 8 on top of the head. But there are many more points for dizziness.
Check out Acupro Academy on FB. Canadian woman who's brilliant!
Search the page for dizziness and start doing acupressure based on that.

BTW I too can get dizzy from watching something at times, even on tv. Normally that doesn't bother me so much, but right now that my head & neck are in worse shape I have to be real careful.

Oh and a tip: if you have to move your head in any direction, first move your eyes in that direction then follow with the head. Not like with a crazy gap in between, but let the eyes lead the way. Can make a helluva difference as then the brain knows which way you're going to turn. Eyes have a lot to do with dizziness.
As does the neck, which is why having your neck sorted can be of great help.

holy chit.. I got tinnitus too.. crazy huh..

I also have Vitiligo.. which means I can't go sunbathing.. not like I ever did.. can't sit still long enough laugh

but it's a real pain in the butt in the warm weather.. specially when I'm building or doing something outside when the sun's shining.. even tho there's a cream with 110 SPF.. it only lasts about 10 mins on me before I start to feel like my skins on fire so.. long pants, long sleeves, special hats that cover my neck & face.. can't have anything exposed.. and why I need to have that roof on my deck.. once I get that up I can install my roll up wooden (bamboo) blinds for when the sun is lower.. plus I've already got the outdoor ceiling fan too ready to install.. so I'll finally be able breathe a sigh of relief while enjoying the outdoor country air..

I've tried specialists for all my chit.. nothing worked so I've adapted.. also.. not on FB (nor do I wanna be) so that's a thanks but no thanks option LOL..

anywho.. I manage fairly well none the less.. I've gotten myself to a point I can get up on a 6' step ladder without feeling dizzy now.. all just using the power of the ol'brain.. but I DO appreciate your suggestions, thank you! :wink:

Sheesh, I feel positively guilty about the fact that other than dying in 2006 I've only ever been sick 3 times in my entire adult life - all three times bedridden with a really bad case of the flu for a few days.

Still have all my body parts too, appendix & tonsils still in place and doing whatever it is they are supposed to be doing.

I broke a knuckle bowling once, does that count?

Never got the Co-Vid even.

well.. having died personally in 1975.. I've spent more time in the hospital then anyone I've ever known.. my dad used to say "it could be worse" noway

or ma fave was "there's always someone out there worse off" REALLY?? spock

seems dying wasn't "worse off" enough laugh

he'd also say: "just means you're stronger than most to be able to take on their problems"
what luck huh.. mind you, I wouldn't've minded giving some back ohwell

I've broken 2 fingers and hung 7' off a "frost" fence just by the palm of my hand so.. yeah.. you can use yer broken bowling knuckle bigsmile
