I already love your artwork, and with your sense of humor and imagination, it's a winning combination. No need to feel insecure.

It's unfair that to cure one thing, they mess up other things.

Our nearest and dearest tend to get the worst of us. It isn't right or fair, but seems to be the way that it is. And, as you say, doctors often do more harm while helping us out of the initial problem. I think that more physicians should be seeking natural "cures" since they don't have the bad side effects. Ah, but there is no money in that for the big Rx companies. Gah. So, laugh when you can and keep on keeping on. I am choosing to laugh with you. And here's a hug....

I have been through some painful stuff with lots of doctors over the past few weeks and will be embarking on an even bigger journey with them in the next two. I don't relish the thought of relinquishing control over my body to them again, as I completely agree with you, like when I bring my car in for service, after they mess with it, other problems arise that I never had/felt before. <br /><br />Since I fight an ongoing battle with my health, I often tell people that it's much harder on my husband, than it is on me. When I am hurting, he takes such good care of me and so many responsibilities around the house fall all on him. Yet, I tend to breath fire in his direction more than anyone else's. He is courageous and strong and oh so patient with me. I make sure that I tell him how sorry I am and that it's the chronic pain that turns me into a cranky old bird sometimes. Not that this is a valid enough excuse to ever be mean... I'm working on it. But I'm a work in progress, that's for sure. Al, I'm praying that you feel better and things turn around for you. Laughter is truly the best medicine I've ever taken. jaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10708353376256621965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020099647940696614.post-67437262555735961702014-02-05T10:04:44.117-06:002014-02-05T10:04:44.117-06:00Nothing worse than feeling like crap...We understa...Nothing worse than feeling like crap...We understand FD, and if you need to vent by growling, spitting fire, comping on a dwarf or two, we won't stop you.
