..that was sad.

your story...read to me like a lot of the tesemonials that i have read about people who have given everything up...\"and then a miracle\' or some sort of change occurs...

I just wanted to add that I can understand part of what you are or was feeling when you wrote this. And there is nothing wrong for feeling upset and depressed in your situation. I myself have recently gone through very bad medical conditions, and one of the things that most surprised me was the callous way some medical providers treated those under their care. But your feelings are human, and very normal in a situation like yours. I hope I don\'t come off sounding preachy or too personal, I only write this because for the last year I\'ve been very ill myself and understand the anger, and self-pity, and sometimes self loathing that a person can feel when it seems like their very body has betrayed them. And not to mention the sheer agony of being in chronic pain. What I found that has helped me is talking to a counselor, and yoga. Before all this started I would have scoffed at going to a yoga class, and I will be the first to say that it is not a cure, but it has help me learn not to focus on the pain and not let the pain be the driving factor in my life. Of course you should talk to a medical doctor before starting anything like that, but I think the main thing is to learn to find fulfillment in spite of your so limitations.

Hmm, you see your cane as a sign of weakness, I see my walking stick as a support that shows a little bit of the life I have lived. For instance, I was hiking yesterday when someone approached me that I did not feel comforatable around. One quick movment of that aluminun stick showed that I was not to be messed with.

Yes, you have tasted the bitter fruit of knowledge and it still stings your tounge. But what would your life had been if you had never lived it to its fullest? All of my scars and injuries show that I took a risk and did somethings.
