Lynn,

I am so sorry that you are having such difficulties with your doctor. Have you tried to find someone that is more sympathetic with your needs? In this country there is a website for people to go to for help with finding a doctor sympathetic to those in pain. Have you tried the widowmakers site to see if they might have some links to doctors in the United Kingdom? I will try to find my link to that site and send it to you.

Please know that you are not alone in your pain and that we are all here for you to draw strength from. I know that is what keeps me going. My surgery is not scheduled until July 12th....and personally I feel like I will not be able to make it that long.....but I will...only because I can turn my focuses onto the members of this group that need help more than I do. For me helping others is the best painkiller around. While I still have my pain....I am drawn from focusing strictly on it.

I have always loved the footprints poem...and never doubted it....no matter what I have been through. I don't know why I haven't questioned the Lord for allowing me to go through what I have...but I have always known that he has something in store for me and that everything is in his time at his will. I have made peace with my life...at times I think that I should be afraid going into my surgery....because I have been told by so many that I will die...but I am not afraid. Well, I cannot say that truthfully...I do have one fear....that being the fear of dying by myself. I do know that should I die the Lord will be by my side and that does ease my fear...in time I pray that I will know total peace and acceptance and I pray that you will find your answers as well. Please do not give up. Use your strengths to help others and draw from the strengths of others on this list. We need each other.

God Bless,
