I’m messing around with my blog again. I know, it’s my online version of moving around the furniture (which I haven’t done very much since getting married ugh!).
Don’t mind any construction dust. And in the meantime, here’s a cute pic I put together while playing around with the graphics for this site…
ETA: no wait, this one’s even cuter:
So a year ago today, I had just been hit by a careless driver who wasn’t looking where he was going. Little did I know how much that would change my life! 
In one year, I’ve been waiting to have a day without pain and it has yet to happen. I’ve started to give up hope, and even the doctors are telling me to give up on the idea of “getting better” and to start focusing instead on coping with chronic pain.
I’ve recovered from another car accident (a much much more severe one where I was hit at a red light by a minivan!!!). A few months after that accident, I was back to being a full-time student (heavy books and all!), single mom to a busy toddler!
I’ve recovered from 2 C-sections and 3 miscarriages. I’ve had sprains and strains. I’ve been off and on medications and painkillers with no problems ever with addiction.
Yet something about this time around got me “stuck” in a cycle of pain. WHY?!
It just doesn’t make any sense. Yes, my first car accident left me with some lingering injuries that would flare up now and again, but this?? Pain every single day?
Today I’m “celebrating” my anniversary by letting myself have a grumpy day to vent and rant and feel sorry for myself before I go back to doing what I do every day – trying to make the most of what I have in life and accomplish what I can.
