You know, I just keep thinking of all the great advances that have been made, things like MRIs and new types of CAT scans and whatnot, so why the heck can't they take a good look at the nerves and figure out how to calm them down, or at least figure out some better ways to block the signals?

I got so frustrated with my visit to pain management. My primary basically said, I told you not to go.

All PM told me was: sleep on the floor because harder is better and forget surgery because they never really know where the pain is coming from no matter what the MRI says.

Gee, thanks guys.

I seriously do not know how you have endured. Well, I imagine it is pure grit and determination. Between the appointments and disrupted life and limitations and pain, it leaves little room for anything else.

But then I have my kids to keep things in perspective, like my 7 year old shooting my 3 year old in the eye with a nerf dart. I was so pissed. We had just been playing, supervised, and the damn guns had been put away, I turn around to answer the phone and SHRIEK! So, I bandanged 7 year olds eyes so he had to be blind for a day . . .
