Thanks, Mike. That actually explains a lot. It makes sense in my personal life as well as in general. I guess that I feel that I'm not really suffering right now. I have RSD and pain and problems using my leg in general, but this has been more than half of my life, and it's just something to try to minimize. That's not something that's come easily to me, and I think it must be even harder if someone is living an adult life and it suddenly ends. I've just had to learn to mold my life to my physical abilities, because nothing is set at the age of 12.

Off to bed now! Thanks for the article and your response!
