Although my back is crazily, insanely improved these days, I do still have to cope with pain on a daily basis. Sometimes it's just a teensy bit and sometimes (like this whole week), it can literally take my breath away. And even though I'm going on three years now of dealing with this relapse, it scares me because I never know how long the pain will last or how bad it will get. There still isn't a "cure" to my injury and I decided long ago that I didn't want to take pain medicine, so on days like today, I grit my teeth, pray a lot, and wait for the pain to cease. I also find myself visiting this blog. The author's wife has a chronic illness and I often find posts that echo my thoughts, my laments and my prayers exactly. This post is one of those times.
I thought it might be a comfort to some or illuminating if anyone has a close friend or family member who struggles with a chronic illness or injury.
