But when I am I shall think of all the posts I have read from Americans on LJ about this kind of torture, and I will gum my soup and be content.

I am afraid it doesn't help very much at the moment to know that you consider me a valuable source of schadenfreude.

I want to write more, so I will have to. It is just difficult to feel that I have never gotten a break from the level my body took in chronic pain last spring and I won't for another twelve months.
