copingwithpain

I am finding all sorts of ways 2 cope with the ammount of pain I'm in.Right now(03/01/2012)daughter Kayla might be going into labor,and that's the biggest distraction I have right now besides medication.The meds have forced me 2 discover a new love 4 x-word puzzles I have not seen since junior high.If you still have some mobility as I am fortunate enough 2 have,that can be such a great distraction as long as you keep your pace even and suited 2 your needs,don't go off and start jogging or anything!We live in a small town so we have an abundance of wild life right in our backyards.I recently started a life list of birds I have seen throughout North America.This has been a superb idea as I have spent alot of time in the bush.I embarked on a fish adventure story,but I am not skilled in writing,yet.I am working on that,also.So if you are feeling depressed by the pain and the sheer loneliness of it,fill your time with anything you can think of 2 occupy your time.My wife buys those huge cartoon drawings and does those in pencil crayons.Having a positive attitude is so important at a time like this,I would not accomplish anything without it.
