Mark, I'm really sorry to read you're in so much pain again.
You seem to have done so well for so long too. That must be very difficult for you especially now that you're working so hard as well. The cold weather probably isn't helping either.

I wish you pain free days.

Mark I'm glad you're getting some counseling...it helps to talk about our feelings as you well know. And wren, any results yet? (((hug)))

Barbo thank you, it's a comfort to think that Michael is with so many people who loved him.

I'm already tired of winter...we did have 4 bluebirds in the heated bird bath yesterday and that amazed me. What are they are doing here this early??

Hope for better tomorrows for all of us. Hugs for the room.

While counseling may be good for managing anger; not sure how much that can help relieve the pain. I know you don't want any more surgery or pain meds; but have you considered any meds for sleep? Ambien CR Has really helped me have hours of sleep where I am relieved at least for a little while of the otherwise constant pain. With all this pain; adding loss of sleep, might make working even more difficult to concentrate and be productive.

The hope was high this last surgery would at least make the arm pain tolerable. Really sorry you are having to continually deal with this pain.

Dear friend

I am so sorry
So sorry
As the pain in your arm
has never left me

Awaiting my miracle
To wish the same for all
Just a little less pain
Ill carry my cross
