Is your life fulfilling?

interesting question, no, not happy with life as a whole but many wonderful things happened along the way.

Yep...it’s a mind battle.
I was 51 years old when a dead tree fell across my back when I wasn’t looking or working on said tree. I was finally happy with my life until the accident happened.
I think the most cruel part is not being able to control my body temp to be outside in summer and winter. Maybe that gets better with time or keeping ice packs handy in the summer months?
I just don’t know anything anymore since I’m in uncharted waters now.

My injury happened suddenly. I was paralyzed from the chest down and my left leg was gone,...amputated in the car accident. It was one of those “first the good news...” type of situations. The good news was that I wouldn’t have to do rehabilitation. The “bad news” was that there wasn’t anything left to rehabilitate. In my case, this actually helped me “get on with life”. I wanted to get well enough to get out of the hospitals and nursing homes so I could go home, cook for myself, pick out my own groceries,...and wake up and go to bed when I wanted to. It’s amazilng how important we find out that these things are when we’ve had them taken away from us, as in hospitals and nursing homes. Yes, I’m happy now that I’ve gotten back these basic human rights and am living in my own home.

I'm content with life, it's not what I had planned but this is where I am in life. As Airohs said you get out of life what you put in it.

hello 2510. What exactly is your injury? What spinal injury level are you and what mobility do you have?  It would it help if you put more information on your profile.

2510, when we get a spinal injury, all of our digestive processes slow down. This allows pathogens (bacteria, viruses, parasites) to bother us more than before our injury. Besides laxatives, we may now need other digestive aides such as Betaine Hydrochloric Acid and digestive enzymes (such as Papain from papaya or Bromelain from pineapple). I keep Lugol’s iodine right beside me on my bedside table. If I get a stomach ache, I put three or four drops of Lugol’s iodine (which uses potable, food grade, alcohol) into a clean cup and add a quarter cup of water, then drink it. The water will look sllightly pinkish, and you will faintly taste the iodine, but it won’t be strong enough to “burn” at all. This diminishes bacteria in the stomach. I wouldn’t use this frequently — only when I have discomfort in my upper digestive area.

If any if this sounds too “far out”, then please try this simple, safe, remedy. Get Anise Tea at the grocery store. Make a strong cup of it —WITHOUT SUGAR — and drink it. Please.

For extreme stomach pain, I put a few drops of FOOD GRADE oregano oil in an empty capsule and take it with water. Do NOT let oregano oil touch your lips, mouth, or eyes. It burns. Here’s a research article about how good it is. Of course, it’s about giving it to pigs,...but why should pigs have all the fun?
“Oregano (Origanum vulgare L.) is an aromatic plant widely distributed throughout the Mediterranean area and Asia [6]. Oregano essential oil (OEO), a volatile oil, is concentrated from natural plant products which contain the volatile aroma compounds. These mixtures of volatile compounds exert different biological actions, such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidative activities [7]”
