How can one cope with it all?

With many severe medical problems that has taken much of my life away. The va hospital recently did several surgeries only to not only find I now have cancer, but due to a very rare blood disorder, my right leg will have to go soon. The independance is gone. What more is left when your alone and live alone. How can one live and not just barely exist?

    I live right down the street from a home for parapelidgics- they are out all the time shopping and going to strip clubs even! your life and independence are NOT gone! I myself have not driven for 6 years due to epilepsy- I get around on the bus as I am in a city but YOU are NOT loosing your independence... you just have to get good at asking for a ride or take a bus and you will get right around it! Besides- I'm sure there are plenty of companies- if your insurance won't cover it- that are ready to test new versions of prostetic legs out there that you will up and adam in no time IF your leg has to go- I have had 2 major surgeries and nothing is final until it's final. The drs all think they know but in your case I'd say anything can happen- maybe nothing even at all... Good luck! You'll never be unindependant unless you choose to sit on your couch and mope around for the rest of your life- I promise:P
