2 Years of Pain vs 2 plus weeks

How the heck did I make it through two years of pain when I was living at home. I honestly have not idea how I made it through those two years. The type of pain and the strength of the pain I had, I can not even start to comprehend it. It is almost like it is wiped from my memory sometimes. The reason I am talking about this is because of the pain I have been experiencing in my throat. It is grueling and it has only been about two weeks and it is eating me up. (Ha, no pun intended on the eating me up). The pain consumes you. It is all you can concentrate on sometimes. I just must ask again and again how did I do pain for 2 years? Well I did it and it was not easy. Painkillers helped but the mental anguish of pain is so tough to deal with. Please do not get me wrong. I am OK right now. Pain is just one of those things that do not allow you to fully enjoy the moment. That is what I am dealing with. Powering through the pain and enjoying my time with my family. I love saying my family.

Otherwise, I have found a chicken pot pie that is soft and has good nutrients in it that we have been eating. Alek is starting to grow hair. It looks blondish brown. We can not tell yet, because it is like peach fuzz on his head.

I just wanted to say that our groups of friends are a very fortunate and successful group. You are all blessed with good health and beautiful families. Do not take this for granted. You all have special qualities and are special people. Take each moment of life and cherish it. Cherish every moment. Do not sweat the small stuff. Make it goal to appreciate your life every day. Take a step back and say what about today is good about my life and embrace it.
