Reply #10: On other DU forums?

I can't say I would be shocked. So-called progressives can be quite nasty. I usually stay out of those discussions and assume I'm reading the rants of children (though I'm afraid that is wishful thinking.) I'm sorry if they managed to push AuntAgonist away. :(

You are inspiring because, in spite of the medical problems you were having, you still hauled your butt to work, riding a bike, riding the bus, walking -- whatever it took -- when most of us hop in our cars and complain if we have to park a little further away! You had a million and one excuses you could have used on why you couldn't exercise, yet you exercised anyway. When things got tough for you or Jeanette, you just got tougher. And here you are now, facing your obstacles, when you could have just disappeared from this forum. How can I give up when you're still plugging away? :)

That said, I realize you've had some setbacks but please don't punish yourself. You've proven that you're worth the effort to get your life back and you're still a young man with so much ahead of you. From what I can tell, Jeanette agrees with me! :)

I'm looking forward to further updates, and hope they're good ones, but I'll be here for you, just the same. :hi:
