It just seems to go on and on, doesn’t it?

The spinal lesion/TM attacks, like this one, are gross. I still say they should put us out for that first 6 weeks. Even though it is still darn hard after that, at least we’d be well-rested up for the recovery phase.

Stress, especially financial, is much harder to cope with when our bodies are messed. I never even knew what stress felt like before my second TM attack . . . the closest I’d ever got to that feeling before was “excitement”.

I'm glad I was here to guide you too, Joe. Trust me, everyone who’s experienced this as been just as freaked or more than you. I wonder if I was lucky that no one could tell me what was going to happen the first time, cause I don’t know if I would have had the strength when I knew how long it was going to take. The second time WAS much harder than the first, cause I knew what I was in for.

Here’s to hoping we’ve paid our dues, and everyone else’s that we care about.
