Great news on the programs and yes it does help if your rep likes you,

Remember that pain threshold when reporting to your MD….I get it…a 5 on a pain scale is a 2 to me so it took me some time to realize I was close to suicidal with the pain.

Going nuts is inevitable…when I started to feel alive again I danced and danced…feels wonderful. So my gauge was how did I feel the nest day? How was my body recovering? Exhaustion is a blessing…it makes my mind stop. Isolation is not an option for you so telling the closest of friends is necessary. They are the ones that will say they need a break or rest when they know it is you that needs it. You are not who you once were and only you will know when enough is enough. It is very hard for my friends. Acceptance for you and them will take time…great friends maneuver it with you.

The pic of the cross is just too funny!!!

Just give this a thought…a cross is “balanced”….if the cross bar was lower into a “plus sign” it would fall over and be an “X”…yeppers I think it was just a sign of what you already have acknowledged….balance….your finding it…it is in the woods with the boys running ..things like that.

Your writings touch my core; hit a nerve; touch my funny bone; a soft spot; make me think and so describe feelings I have had. I am sorry for your injury although I am so happy you are sharing here.

Well enough from me….I am off to dance!!!!
