Al,
I know how you feel, life sometimes is frustrating beyond belief. I have been at the end of my rope on several occasions. The only thing I can offer you is to tell you that things do get better, they really do. Sometimes we can't seem to see that light at the end of the tunnel, but it's there. I spent eight months in the hospital with adhesion related problems, I had only been married a year at that time and had a 14 year old son. I thought I was going to die (so did a lot of people) and I couldn't imagine ever being normal again. Well, it's been almost four years now and even though my adhesions are back with a vengeance and I am in pain daily, I look back and think to myself, things could be worse! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
