Sorry it had to come to this after so many years.
Take care of yourselves.

Wow, it's been a long time since I've seen you lurking about. Good to see you on...not sure how I missed your post, but you know how my brain works (or doesn't
)...but we won't go there.Sorry your back is giving you fits though...that stinks big time. It's ok to throw things, just not AT someone....maybe you can get a box of Nerf balls to heave around...that way if you do hit someone or something that's breakable, you'll minimize the damage somewhat.
Hope your back gets feeling better soon!

The web browser can be a curse though....you know how it goes....well, let's see if there's anything like this there....and you get to browsing the titles, and you see one that's interesting, and you look at the price, and gee, it's ONLY 5.99 or something, so you figure, what the heck....the next thing you know, you've got 50 book on it!

Oh well, it's better than sticking up gas stations I guess

There's no simple answer to this...but feeling useless and worthless is counter-productive to you getting feeling more like a human being. Everyone has worth, and it's not based on what they can do....it's based on their humanity...nothing else. You might be helping folks and not even know it...someone calls on the phone and talks to you...you don't know...that might be just the thing they needed right then. Heck, just the fact that you're around counts.
The feeling of the deep, bone-tiredness will fade over time, and you'll get some of your oomph back, but probably not to the level pre-CF..but you'll find work arounds too....like when I whacked my back in an auto accident, I taught myself how to pick things up with my toes...socks, utensils that I'd drop, eventually, I could pick up a dime off a hard-wood floor. It was a work-around since I couldn't bend over. Your body/mind will do things, seemingly, on their own and something will pop into your head to try.
Just don't give up on yourself...you're the only you you've got. You don't need to run yourself down, other people will be doing that, but you don't have to believe them or even listen.
Good Luck, and don't forget...there's always someone here who is willing to listen and help if we can.
Take Care,

I keep telling her...You've had a pretty action packed week so far, so as far as I'm concerned, you're doing great! Of course, it's not great enough to suit her...gads. She'll come around, but like everyone else...she wants to be all better - YESTERDAY.JimView Thread

Doesn't come with much on it pre-installed other than a couple of dictionaries and a welcome letter, so I was glad that I already had some to plug into it. Mine came with a charger cable, but it's a double duty one....it plugs into the wall, but the back of the plug (away from the wall) is a USB port that the actual power cable plugs into, and the other end plugs into the Kindle.
Snaps into the holder I also got at the same time, somewhat firmly....so much so that I was a little worried about bending the snaps or dinging something, but it slid on - nice and tight. The screen when you shut it off shows a picture of a famous author, or an odd book cover...it cycles through different ones, and there are PICTURES!! So if the book you get has pics, you get to see them...not in color, but B&W, but that's ok...at least you see them...my ECTACO didn't do that.
Very comfortable to use, light, and even the "little" one (6-inch) is plenty big for reading.
Even though it's too late....ME LIKE...A LOT!!
You get your green envy smile AFTER I get my 'Evil Grin' smiley!! (so there
