What an amazing story…and not a fairytale.

Thank you, Julie.

And no, but sometimes I can’t even believe this life I’m leading is real —- in both a good way and a is-this-really-happening way? I do a reality check and move on.

Julie,

Your words carry such tender strength. Even in your pain, you show up with a heart full of honesty—and to me, that’s the opposite of unpredictable.

That’s devotion. That’s grace.

I see the persistence in your search for healing and relief, the way you keep reaching for light even when the path is steep and uncertain. Life has its own rhythms, and yours is calling for bravely pressing for solutions, self-care, and trust in yourself.

I’m here, gently cheering you on as you find your way back to steadier ground and hopefully soon, a pain-free life. You’re not alone, and you are courageous and supported—more than you know.

Debi - you’re leaving me speechless and a big ball of crying over here. Thank you for your kind words. I feel so fortunate to have met you on this journey.

When I wonder … why is this happening to me —- I often think about the people, like you, that I would not have met if it weren’t for these conditions (the awful pain).

I feel blessed to have met you. Thank you.

Prayer and healing thoughts for you!

I read for the first time in a while. I did not know that they can do nerve blocks for long periods of time.

Good to hear from you, Alicia! Yep, it is true. The jury is still out on mine, however.
