    Jenny,

    Thank you for sharing this. It really hit home with me - I even cried when I read it.  I have some hopeful days,too, but they seem to be getting farther apart.  I hope things are getting better for you!

    Jenni-Thank you for putting into words the battle so many of us struggle with.  I sent your words to my family so that they would have a better understanding of where I live (since you captured it so well).  Like you, I try to be hopeful, although, some days are harder than others.  I wish you as many pain free days as possible.  Lisa
