Told you , you have a gift. Your words are always uplifting. <br /> I was immensely lucky to be born in a family where empathy was thought. Stranded animals always ended up at our doorsteps.. talking about instinct.. how did they know they ll be taken care of there and not next door? <br /> <br /> But...Dealing with the humans/school/workplace etc.. made me lose most of it. The little I have left I save it for the undefended, as abused animals, innocent children, helpless old folks.. Luckily tough, again, I get to experience it when i meet genuine people.. like yourself. they bring the empathy back in me.. So thank you, my dear, you are a gift to me. <br /> <br /> The lesson that I have learned from Dad's experience, beyond the understanding of physical pain and its effects, is believing in miracles. against all odds. against all predictions. Like your dad. like my dad. <br /> <br /> SO PLEASE <br /> DO BELIEVE YOUR MIRACLE WILL HAPPEN TOO<br /> PLEASE DO. <br /> I wish it to you with all my heart!<br /> <br /> Dearest Grace, thank you so much!

The lesson that I have learned from Dad’s experience, beyond the understanding of physical pain and its effects, is believing in miracles. against all odds. against all predictions. Like your dad. like my dad.

SO PLEASE
DO BELIEVE YOUR MIRACLE WILL HAPPEN TOO
PLEASE DO.
I wish it to you with all my heart!

I got incredibly ill; even my selfish mother felt sorry for me. Turns out they prescribed the wrong med. and it could have killed me. I was laying there thinking I should write my will and make sure my son has "Godparents" Fortunately, I am resilient and made it. The doctor just said "oops." The moral of the story is that each person, and if you are lucky, your family too, must be (their own) best advocate. I never understood the pain people experience til this all happened: after a trip to the chiropractor and a bone in my neck popped out. Know thine self. My own instinct was right, but I chose to obey the "doctor". I know this is not comforting advice, but it may save a life. There is a fine line in obeying authority and following your instincts. At the very least, if in doubt, ask as many questions as you need to.<br /> <br /> Bless you, and your father. Empathy for others is one of the greatest gifts that can come from the kind of tragedy you experienced with your father. I am very happy to hear he healed himself! My dad did something similar with his kidney disease, defying doctors and living many years beyond what had been predicted. Thank you, and Big hug to your whole family, Adina.

Most mainstream consulted doctors, (one top top neuro surgeon) considered the disease incurable.. Well.. My dad had recovered, and had no episode of pain in years. <br /> Knowing what constant intense pain can do to people, why I am amazed and happy that you manage to keep a positive spirit, and other than cranky, you always sound uplifting. Keep up your positive spirit, and I hope so much so much you ll be cured. <br /> some people who suffered no physical pain or had no one in their family to suffer it (even me, before my dad's situation) do not imagine how much strength it takes to cope with. Thanks to my dad's experience I have become more aware... I really do wish you well.<br /> Take care<br /> Grace, my dad suffered from a Neuralgia which almost led him to considering suicide, so unbearable the pain was.

I haven't commented in every post, but I especially enjoyed your poetry. I also appreciate the principled you have shown. Very kind of you in offering your concern. It is hard, they try experimental injections in my neck that disrupt my life for weeks, give temporary relief of migtaines and then this time (10 days later) all the pain returns with a vengeance, then calms down again to mild headaches all day. Can make me a cranky lady, probably why I like to comment on politics; in my perpetual crankiness. However, it is a discipline, to stay calm and positive, which I strive for and have made progress over these years.<br /> <br /> Well put David,<br /> Peace, all. Thank you Adina.

Grace, we can only guess at the true depths of human sleaziness.

Adina, I agree but not with the ‘unlike me.’

Cheers.

Most of the politicians are usually caught doing the very thing they actively sought to create Draconian laws to punish others for doing. Larry Flynt is a true hero for exposing this kind of hypocricy. Ok, I won't torture you all anymore with this subject : ).
