is feeling Horrible
I am sure I am supposed to be learning something from my chronic pain experiences that can be of use to others. I am grateful for my wonderfully patient and loving (and super sexy) husband, my caring family and friends, loyal clients, and our greyhound and bull terrier rescue pets. I've been a professional massage therapist specializing in medical and Thai massage for almost a decade now, and always feel blessed to be lucky enough to love my work so much. I've always enjoyed fixing things and helping people, and it's very creative, if physically and sometimes emotionally demanding, work.
I am a voracious reader, especially of history, the classics, art, and biographies and a fixer of all things needing repair or improvement around the house and yard. I can't do as much as I used to nearly as quickly as in the past, but still would rather shop for tools and stuff at Home Depot than anything to be found at a mall. I'm grateful that since the gunshot injections I can do more of these things, if still slowly, and walk my dogs again. They missed it, too! If I'm not laughing at them or myself, I'm probably curled up with my husband, enjoying British comedy. Remembering to laugh is more important than ever.
