People suffering with chronic and intractable pain are rock stars. Constantly feeling like they've been ran over by a truck, yet still having compassion and kindness to share with others. That takes real strength.

I am asking for my prayer warriors to remember me in your prayers in the morning. I am having surgery performed on my neck. I am praying it will work and I will not be in as much pain as I am now. Not sure how much more of this pain I can survive. Thank you for your prayers.

I am also trying to dig out of the tornado that hit last week. I had a lot of damage. My clinic was a total loss. I don’t think I will rebuild it. The tornado wiped out 12 grown rose bushes that were part of my memorial garden. It broke my heart. I can’t afford to replace them

I haven’t been on twitter much lately. Things have been bad. Going through some pain fill days where all I see is hopelessness. My cousin is caring for me and I looked at him a few days ago and said I am so lonely. I don’t underestimate why I am left here to suffer every day.

To all who are always here for me.

Tomorrow I once again will be in the hospital having 3 procedures performed this time. I would appreciate all of your prayers. Thank you to all who have been my supporters through all of the many things I have been through. I am thankful for all of you.

I want to thank all of you who have sent me cards and books that have brightened my days. It feels good to know I have not been forgotten and that so many of you care about me. MSA is a hard battle to fight and I know it is terminal. I know I am not fighting it alone.
