While the hurting part can change or not - medically, the confusion and scariness is where we have been/are/anticipating...and we all CAN relate... I for one will not sugar coat possibles, I will merely state possibles as just that. They are not PROBABLES or Likelihoods or absolutes...Keeping this all in perspective is key to getting on with getting on!

I mean, what would I DO if given the gift of ONE whole pain free day? I've made peace and gotten used to it all...I really think then I would go bonkers due to an absence of pain....meaning what has become NORMAL sensory input.

Me? I try to make a palatable lemonade...ideally sugar free? Not as easy as it seems, obviously...

Hugs and hope...It's in us. - j
