balanced living

You either balance yourself or something will do it for you. Several years ago it was chosen for me. A  four-wheeler crushed my life as I knew it. Wasn't going fast, just cruising. Trying to cram fun into my life. After  ICU , I started my recovery in a reclining chair. It lasted one year. I could use one hand and having a thumb that was mobile was a blessing. I started watching television for the first time in ages. A liquid diet was the menu. You would be amazed at what can be pureed.  However the nutrients were not there. At the time I could have cared less about nutrients and what could or would happen. While I was in the hospital,  one thing that was over-looked were my mouth, teeth and gums. Wow, did they ever suffer. My hair became thin and dull. There was no happiness in my smile or eyes. I have slowly regained some shine to my hair. My mouth had to be re-worked by a professional. HOWEVER, I learned to re-balance to a degree with Volunteer work. I collect needed items for  Military Veterans for their health and well-being. It takes its' toll on me with the demands of collecting and making runs to the different Veterans hospitals and retirement centers. Boca could help not only with me, but with the homeless Veterans that I work so hard to keep healthy for just one day at a time.
