I love this place. Only those that traveled this road gets it.
It's a difficult road as others roads have been for us all. Been through mental and emotional pain, however chronic physical pain takes the first place for pain. It takes so much from us, physically, mentally and emotionally.
That's why this forum is so special. Here we are connected. Listening, giving encouragement and experience. Those around me try to understand what I'm going through, bless theirs heart they try.
I live alone now. My daughter was with me with my first THR. Now I gotta rely on others this time. Don't know how it'll work out. However I'm ready. Sister-in-law lives close to help.
Hire for mowing the lawn, board pets for hospital stay. Get financially set for time off of work. Pain pills are a must now to get done what is needed. I'm not a quitter as I know none of us bonesmart hippies are! That's what keeps me pushing forward.
