And as with all grieving, just when you think you’re coping pretty well you lose your footing and find yourself deeply struggling with all the complicated feelings. Anger, resentment, sadness, jealousy, fear, loneliness. #chronicillness #disabilityawareness #copingwithchronicillness https://www.instagram.com/p/B7aZkPigJk_/?igshid=1phfciqw6hi7i

How I feel when someone offers me that "medical opinion" that I did not ask for or pay for.

Pain is waiting

Waiting for the pain to stop

Waiting for the meds to kick in

Waiting for the doctors

Waiting for someone to listen

Waiting for someone to help

Waiting for something to change

Waiting for someone to understand

Waiting for your life to change

Waiting for time to stop

Acceptance

There are days when I accept that this is my lot in life that somehow I was destine to spend the rest of my days on earth in pain.  Then there are other days when I scream, I cry, I feel sorry for myself, I get angry, I curse the day I was born.  My pain was done to me, the cause was a simple surgery on my ankle to remove a cist.  I have been told that the surgeon did nothing wrong, but he did, he ruined my life.  Then after all the emotions pass and I am back to acceptance, it does not mean that I am ok with my life, it just means that I know that there is nothing more to be done, no do-overs just acceptance.  No one deserves to live with constant pain, those mind numbing heart stopping waves of agony that wash over you day in and day out.  I would not wish my pain on my worst enemy, but I might wish it on the surgeon that told me this would be a nothing surgery.
