You WILL be surprised at what you can do, and you will do it. Do you have a choice? Nope.
Last weekend I mounted the TV my son got for his birthday to his wall and re-wired the outlet and cable jack - moved it up close to the ceiling. Then I patched the 3 holes in the sheetrock (had to make 2 extra holes to track the wire.....) and got it painted. Granted, I did a lot of things before (my dad prepared me well - who knew!!) - but for about a year after the bomb I wasn't able to do much more than lay in bed and sob.
I have a ways to go - I am far from "healed," actually I go through bouts of being a basketcase (privately) - but I face the world as if I have it all together and those bouts are not as frequent as they once were.
I hope someday to be able to post that I am over it - that I am healed, but that's not me yet - and I am 3 years post bomb.
You can do this!
