Leggies,

Vent away. Gloomy. Happy. Mad. Sad. Hurting. Every day I go through all of those emotions solely related to the pain and the loss of all the things I once built my life around. Any debilitating disease brings with it grief. The 5 stages of grief are not like Maslow's Hierarchy. Each stage is experienced at various times in various degrees. We don't complete one stage and move into the next. Stages are repeated over and over. There is no 'true' end of grief, only different levels of acceptance. Which then of course leads way to another level of denial. Circles.

21st is a big one. I'm sorry yours is faced with alterations to the 'norm'. Perhaps your friends can bring the celebration to you...provided there is no contradiction with any medication. When my 2nd son would have celebrated his 21st, I was living in TN and could not make it up to IL. My close friend and my parents went to his gravesite and called me from there. We sang Happy Birthday and each of us did a shot for him. My friend buried the empty airplane-sized bottle of tequila near his marker.

I am struggling with finding a balance with this CRPS myself, so I don't have any words of wisdom for you, except that you are not alone.
