an underlying supposition that you can figure out how to deal with chronic

pain

and get your old life back...

I have finally come to the *conclusion* that I must deal with the chronic

pain the best I can, meds, meditation, what ever it takes and some days it just

simply doesn't work ... I have also come to the conclusion that (for me) I will

NOT " get my old life back " . Oh my, flying by on my jetski with no worries,

physically fit ... beating the socks off anyone who dares to take me on for a

race! Water-skiing at dawn in the calm of the lake ... making the first marks

in the water... Ahh! But... I have not stood or sat on my skis in over 4

years. How I long to have that back. But the reality I will defiantly never

water ski again and surly will not race my jetski but ....

I could probably still go to the river and toot around on my sit down ski and

at the Lake I can drive the boat for a bit and be a passenger till my joints

loosen completely.

I know that I have a God given purpose here. Thought it was my work... NOT!

So I am on a journey to find out what that purpose is... Taking all that I

learned and know from my work and apply it in lay terms? ... not sure. What I am

sure is it is NOT my old life ... it is my NEW life.

Hope this helps.
