Staying grateful

Hi everyone! I am a 54 yr old female. I used to teach spinning until she 40. I had a hip replaced & then the fun began. I had the other hip replaced, left knee replaced & spinal fusion from L1 thru S2. Complete with 2 6 "metal rods &27 screws. My range of motion is challenging. I've been on so many pain meds & anti depressants. I now realize food is medicine! I was so depressed about all that I couldn't do anymore that I ate myself into a rut. I considered suicide but couldn't do that to my children,grandchildren & the man that has stayed by my side thru all of my dark days. I dug into my faith & started with small goals so I wouldn't set myself up for failure. I managed to wean myself from drugs & use food for medication. I am able to workout again but I have to be careful & listen to my body. I am grateful that most people look at me &don't realize my limitations. After they spend time with me they see but unless you know me you can't tell. I am still on my journey & could use some friends that are experiencing similar issues
