you will pull through this. You have a great spirit and that alone is all the strength you need to beat this thing. In your pain, focus your thoughts and energy on the serenity of a quiet morning or evening in your favorite spot on the lake. Although the pain will be intense, your calmness of the lake experience will settle your mind. This will give you plenty to look forward to when the pain is gone...and it will eventually go away. Get good help at good hospitals, even if it takes you away from the local medical providers. Just because it is rare doesn't mean you can't beat it. Someone out there hs the knowledge you need. Good luck and your forum family all over the state, eastcoast and world wide are pulling for you. If you ever need to vent, you have us right here at your beckoned call.
