Bless you, your kind words, plus your affirmation of hope made my day. I am in so much pain today it is almost unbearable. The only thing that gets me through is remembering my doctor's words that as long as I have pain, then there is hope. If I get to the point where I feel nothing, then I can know the damage will not be reversible. Its hard to be grateful for hurting as bad as I am now, but there is that word HOPE. Don't ever lose your hope, without that what is left?
