Notes About The Poem

- Thank You For Caring -

Surgical operation, physiotherapy,
                                   exercise and painkillers
                          (I hate every pill, they make me dizzy)

                                   Neuropathic pain can be
                                violent and incomprehensible
                                 It is subjective and personal,
                                    an emotional experience

                             A short time of pain we can accept
                                    Pain that lasts a long time
                               makes everyday life complicated
                             But it goes a little better every day

Hello Anne-Lise, I am not sure what you've gone through, but it seems that you have taken the proper steps to nip it in the butt. Pain is not my cup of tea, just a little tooth ache sends me to another level of feelings. My prayers & hugs your way my sweet lady...

Hi Anne-Lise. I didn't realize you had a surgery. I wish you well. You are right, long term pain is very difficult. I pray you are pain free soon. Take care. Hugs :)
