Don't Hear I Shout You! A Chronic Pain Blog
http://obtuselyoblique1.wordpress.com/
How I proved the doctor wrong! In 1986, after a botched & infected spinal (lumbar)fusion the surgeon told I'd live in a wheelchair for life and better just accept that fact.Well,even as the pain spread and worsened with each passing year,I went on to live a full and productive -- even happy -- life with the chronic pain.The focus is on the personal inner processes of living 24/7 in pain;as one who was once a Catholic monk and also lived in Asia for 10 years, all of these have combined to help me break a downward negative loop and learn to live-- and enjoy -- life while in constant ragin pain. What I get out of it is the therapy of writing and sharing, and hopefully others in chronic pain (or living with someone in CP)find something helpful to their situation.
