Dearest Joan,
I'm sorry to hear of the difficulties you've been experiencing, no wonder you're feeling depressed...that's a lot for anyone's plate. Can you go see a pain specialist, or have you already done that? I don't know if they can be of help but hopefully they can uncover or help whatever is going on and you will be able to return to work.
I'm praying for you, Joan, all the way. There is nothing more daunting than pain and it is no way to live.
You've always held a special place in my heart and I've followed your posts....so inspirational and supportive for others who are struggling. Thank you for being the sweet sister we all need. Now we're all praying for this pain to cease and for you to feel good again. Please let us know how you are doing.
Sending you love and healing energy and my hand to hold,
Vickie
