RE: We are probably stronger --- To Tigger

[Guest guest]

Well sweetie, I sure do understand that. I just believe that even you have an

inner strength that was born of this torture. I mean, if not physical, then

mental strength. You are clearly learning to stand up for yourself against the

ignorant doctors out there. I am very proud of you honey.

And tigger, the day may come when this damn thing puts me in bed for good. I

fear that day, but realize it can be my fate somehow. Just the changes it has

made in me over the last 4 years has taken me down so far from what I was.

Love ya,

Debra V.

I do sometimes just stay in bed. If not I end up falling all over the

Yes,

We are stronger than most. We keep walking on in life

with our pain and exhaustion. But sometimes I don't

want to be strong. Sometimes I just want to stay in

bed and sleep (although I don't do it as I have other

things to do) and at those moments I certainly don't

feel and inner strength.
