Hi Don, I am sorry you are having a tough time. I can only imagine how you feel. Take what you need to keep the pain under control. It is not wrong...actually, it is smart. You need to manage the pain. Your physical comfort and your mental and emotional health depend on it.

You know...you are already helping. Your candid and unvarnished account about how you feel is informative and honest. It's what many people look for when they are starting out on this journey.

Keep healing.

Sandy
