I do not even know where to start with your comment. You blew me away!!! I remember your story to this day. It was magical and one of the best short stories I have ever read.
Thank you for letting me know I helped you in some small way. I never knew. It proves that we never know what someone is REALLY going through ever.
I have tried mediation and do some form when lying down to sleep. Falling asleep has never been easy for me, so mediation helps sometimes. It never hurts :D
I am so sorry aBout your back. I finally had to get mine fused. After 4 surgeries, it was the only option left open to me, and I couldn't walk without screaming in pain, so I had no choice.
Have you asked your doctors to try different pain meds? For me, it took a while to find one that did not leave me sleeping in bed or so out of it I could not function.
I still have pain, but what I take now does take the edge off enough that I can feel a little helpful around the house. It is not perfect by any means, but it is better than being stuck in a bed all day.
I spent almost a year stuck in bed, and now I make sure I get out of bed no matter how I feel. That alone helps me mentally feel better.
Just before I went back to my old Doctor, I found myself in bed more and more, which was a HUGE warning for me to get back to the medication that was working for me.
We have to fight for ourselves cuz no one else will :(
Much Love and prayers are sent your way!!
And thank you again so much for sharing your writing story with me.
I am going to join @DreemSteem's @Dreemport Challenge this month and hope it gives me the push I need to start writing fiction again. Maybe look it over and give it a try. I reblogged it to my page. The first post is very simple to write about. Maybe give it a try. It can not hurt :D
