Hello,
Thank you so much for your reply.
Hope only disappears when we die. As long as there is breath in us, we must keep forging ahead and keep fighting. It’s never over until it’s over. I chose to forge ahead even with all the pain I am feeling on a daily basis and avoid the opioids. And believe me I am in pain, but I will not allow it to control me and I will not allow my mind either to succumb to the pain. Our minds play bad tricks on us. Our strength comes from way deep inside us and not from our brains. We need to tap inside for strength to rise above the pain. It’s never easy but we can never give up and allow the pain to have the upper hand.
I wish you the very best and hope you will keep trying to forge ahead and never give up.
Take care and have a serene rest of your week,
gus

Honestly, your thought provoking text is where I was months ago. With each day down, another herculean effort to claw through this existence. With lack of answers, increasing pain and decreases in ability to walk due to push down of weight on my body parts (feel like I'm 2000 pounds). My posterior neck, shoulders and arms are now asleep. Beyond dire straights. Existing in this state is the hardest thing I've ever done. My physical being pulverised, burned and frankly now being eaten alive by pain is at times terror evoking. Metal health overload from despair of severe severe pain. Thankyou for being kind enough to take time to share. Think I have been holding out for a miracle. Not sure how much longer my body/mind can take the punishment. My neurological battle has become bigger than me. Ground down Gus. My inner strength is thinning. May you find some peace in some serene moments my friend.
