Hi! Great analogy about chronic pain. Light and thoughtful, her insights are correct. I've learned to appreciate other patients with pain problems; to stop judging every situation and to help others any way I can. Thanks for posting her blog. Take care, sfink

Oh yeah?! Andy spent a month in solitary because he thought the warden was obtuse!! The dr's letter was interesting; but considering most are clearing 750K+ a year, it's hard to be sympathetic. Take care, sfink |
