Guest guest Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hello Heidi, Sorry it's a bad day.....I must admit it's good to be able to " hide " in my posts!! It's those pseudocysts that give you such problems isn't it? Is there still a chance they will resolve on their own? I sometimes feel that it would be so helpful if I knew my painful episodes could do some good for someone else. If I was suffering for a purpose, as it were, I could be so much braver. In a strange sort of way I suppose there IS a purpose but it's a bit difficult to find it at times.; it's not an obvious purpose and it takes real faith to remain sure that it all means something. I know I treasure every pain-free moment now whereas before I took them for granted. The values on which I base my life are all the more important to me now and I hope I don't waste time worrying about non-essentials. I value all my relationships with family and friends even more than I did before the shock of my diagnosis. PAIN and FEAR have taught me some crucial lessons. I am not complaining (many are far, far worse than I am)but pain is a mystery. I don't think we will ever really understand why we're called to cope with it. Heidi, your purpose has got to be to inspire us constantly with your own strength and care for others. I do hope the pain settles soon...in fact, at once.
