Rickey,
Good question. For me it started with not be able to play tennis, which I had to give up at the ripe old age of 30. Then it was anything that required me to run, like basketball, and baseball as my hips were in bad shape. In fact I can't remember what it feels like to run. Them as my ablility to look up decreased I could not play volleyball or swim, excpt for a backstroke. But thank God the majority of the necessary things in life I can still do, as long as it isn't too high up like paint the ceiling. I was able to hold my child when she was born 14 years ago and I can still hug my wife and I can work. There are way too many blessings to list so I feel truly blessed. God has allowed me to suffer for a reason and I truly do believe that I will be better off in the long run for it. It certaintly has made me more compassionate to people who are suffering, and the world sure can use more compassionate people.
