I stepped on your post too, Bim.
I’m sorry you live a life in which your suffering never really goes away. I have another friend who had a serious back injury in her 20s who has never been free from pain since.
I can appreciate how ludicrous it is for me to liken a stomachache to chronic pain.
But I have always taken my health for granted, so serious imaginings of a drastic difference had never even entered my head.
I got a glimpse—just a glimpse—and it scared the crap out of me!
I have tremendous admiration for anyone who faces daily pain and somehow manages to rock life.
So many people on here (like you
).
