I know it’s been a while. Thanks to everyone who has checked in with me since (and because of) my last post.
Just when you think you have things figured out, you are shown you do not. The truth is, many things have changed here, which have caused my pain levels to increase and my other issues to return (they were previously under control and pretty much non-existent). Although they continue to increase, I am working hard to figure this out and find acceptable solutions.
Unfortunately, I am not there yet.
Living with chronic pain is extremely wearing. I remember in the past wishing I could get just one hour off from the pain and thinking how blissful that would be. Unfortunately, chronic pain doesn’t care about blissfulness and takes no breaks.
As if all of this wasn’t enough, there have been other things going on for me to deal with too.
A family member has had many health scares and concerns.
Then another situation transpired, which I was not impressed with at all and therefore took a stand. Seriously, when people need someone to push around, I am not that person. If they choose me anyway, they soon realize they have picked the wrong person. This was difficult to prepare for and to go through all while dealing with everything else going on, BUT I went through it anyway AND I came out on top. (Yay me!)
Four people within my community passed away last week. That was by choice for at least two of them and I am unsure about the other two. I get that. It IS a brutal illness that has many comorbidities and there is little to no support at all. It takes a toll.
Despite all of this, I continue to fight to find some relief and solutions for me.
