Thank you for posting that. Everything in it resonated so much for me, the medical MJ , pain management, etc but especially this one sentence

[quote]False hope is my enemy, also self pity, which went out the window when I saw children with cancer. [/quote]

When I was sitting in the waiting room for my radiation treatments and had to wait an extra half hour because I was "bumped" by a stretcher coming from DC's Childrens Hospital and I saw those wan little faces, often clutching tightly the Children's Hospitals' trademark Teddy Bear, I felt the same way.

Thanks again for sharing this moving piece.
