I have been a active DUER since 2005, until this past year.
I had a complete & total meltdown after the last presidential election ( I knew as most of you did that things were going to get bad). I sulked & shut out politics from my life for some time. Around the 1st of February, I broke my right foot (metatarsals) (given my state of health, that was a big thing). When my foot was mending, I broke it again. Here we are now in the middle of July (my foot mending again) I am walking my dog when I slipped & fell and ended up going down on concrete on my left knee. 2017 so far has not been a good year for me.
I was in a unforgiving metal brace until my surgery August 28th (they worked on my ALS, took out 75% of my meniscus & they had to repair my femoral nerve). Then on September 10th while recuperating at home by myself hurricane Irma hit (for those that don't know I live in Bonita Springs, FL about a mile from the Gulf of Mexico. (I wasn't moving very fast on my walker and my home health care told me I was on my own). After the hurricane passed one of my brothers came & took me to where they had power. I finally was self sufficient by Christmas.
Ok enough of my rambling, I am hoping 2018 is better for me than 2017 & I will be on DU again like I used to be and here's to hoping for a huge blue wave in November!
