For those of you who won't bother to read the blog, this is the last paragraph of WhiteAngel's "My Story" - a harrowing story covering some 40 years of suffering:-

"On a personal note, for those of you who have had similar challenges or even worse, know that the cosmic universe has bigger and better things planned for us. All of your suffering is not wasted in vain, I'm sure there's a very good reason for it all. In my case I know it has made me a deeper, wiser and a better person. Use it to your advantage and let others use it too, be grateful for what you have and not what you haven't got. Take a set of difficult circumstance and turn them into something positive, it's your choice to work with what you have."

WhiteAngel,
Welcome back to the forum. My story pales into insignificance against yours.
Keep posting here.

There are two types of people in the world; those who classify people in two types and those who don't.

White Angel, I have to say a big thank you for providing the link to your site.
Your story is hard to read, so much to deal with but inspirational also thank you.
Also a huge thanks for the links and recommended medical sites particularly via anatomical diagrams to the Merck Manual. I have just spent 30 absorbing minutes learning much I didn't know about the anatomy of my specific injury and a raft of other information.
Thank you,
EC
Impossible only describes a problem that needs viewed from a different perspective

thanks Colin, you don't know how much that means to me, that in some small way I can help others...but thank you for taking the time to read my story and post a reply...sometimes I read my own story and don't know how I cope....there's always worse...thanks
