daniella . . . . one huge (((((((HUG))))))))) for you!

I am getting worse of late, and my eyes suffer both a condition caused by my Crohn's/chronic inflammatory conditions, lack of good sleep, and some of the meds I am on. And I too am afaid to look further, because I feel worse after every doctor visit . . . because I truly do not want to try every new drug on the market!

When I can be at the easel and paint, I am still an artist. . . but the in-betweens are getting closer and longer, and the creative sparks harder to ignite. After that. . . what?

Funny thing, though. . . my medical group keeps sending me their news letter on how they now offer spa services and will laser-remove your leg hair for you so you don't have to shave anymore. . . but I can't get seen in a pain clinic! Our health care priorities and the $$$ attached to them are all screwed up. You bet that makes me angry. But there is no money in helping those of us in pain. . . we are not glamorous enough!

Hang in there with me, will ya? Imagine me squeezing your hand when no one else will. . . .
