I hated lying on the table with the mask on, but you get through it. On the days I wanted to give up, I looked at my wife's and son's face and I prayed to God for the strength to get through this. On some days I got angry and said to myself I would not let this thing beat me. Some days I made jokes with the other patients. Just talking with the other patients, family and Drs helped too. As you can see I used a little bit of everything to get through. That's what worked for me. Everyone is different as Andrea said and most of felt like giving up. Find your inner strength, it's there, and use whatever you can to get through, just don't give up.
