You go girl! Get out there and have some fun! I hope you're able to feel good enough to really enjoy it, or at least have enough fun that you're able to forget about the pain for just a little while. And I agree with your therapist 100%. It's not about who we used to be, but who we are now. And I think a lot of us become a better person after having to deal with chronic pain - I know that I'm more tolerant, considerate, compassionate, even more patient and patience has *never* been a strength of mine! <gg> So go show this guy how wonderful you are!
