Belinda,
This is the way that most of us live our lives. You just keep on keeping on. Pain can be forgotten to a certain extent when you are doing something you are enjoying. True the nights are a real trial. I've gotten to the point with all of the physical therapy and pain from it, that I'm only sleeping about 3 hours a night. But I'm game for anything I can manage during the days. My husband and I actually went out as a couple for the first time in years on Saturday. We met a couple we knew at the local ice cream parlor. Someone to talk to besides doctors and dogs.

Just keep on enjoying your life to the very best extent that you can. I'm glad you had such a good time.
