Alright-I have had just about Enough of This!

Martha's Burning Pain!

created by: The Shticks.com (Veronica Anderson)

Okay,  my Butt has been on Fire for about sixteen years-so what else is new~~~  I am in Day Three of recovering from wonderful Injections given by my amazing Pain Management Doctor, and I wonder if she ever says the same statement about Pain, "Enough Already!"  Lets be honest-there is no way you can really look at a person in Chronic pain and not feel sympathetic to their suffering!  

During this most recent bout of " Burning Butt, Leg & Foot" just about anybody who spends time around me would say "You might want to tread lightly around Martha-she is Not having a Good Day!"

So I gave a lot of thought to how a Group of Chronic Pain Patients might look: all of us gathered around in a large circle (space is really needed as we let the lid off the Pain Pressure Cooker) we stand there, all in various stages of Pain-you will see hands pressing against an Aching Back, one might stretch a leg out to ease intense Pain, and so many will be standing with arms crossed tight against the chest-in a silent message of sorts to let others know "I hate being in Pain-Yep, I have had Enough of It!"

There we all stand-aching, frustrated, tired, angry, broken by bone grinding Pain~~

Slowly we cast our Pain to the side, so we can see the Pain of all who stand nearby-

and suddenly the Circle swells with Compassion!

We are looking in a large Mirror, watching the person standing across from us-thinking

 "wow, he looks rough-wonder where his Pain comes from" as silent fear rises up, we

quietly pray, "Please God, don't let me get that bad!"

Each one of us have cursed our Pain, cried from total exhaustion- knowing the Tears must be dried quickly because Pain is waiting, waiting, waiting~~

and we know-its time to step away from the Circle and walk back into the Pain.

We nod a silent Goodbye, see you Soon to each other, hoping against hope that 

One of us gathered in this Circle will find their Pain eased-

Its a Silent Prayer being Spoken within our Hearts as we step away.

Chronic Pain-Go Away

Please stay away, just One more Day.

God bless all who fight this tough battle~~~
