Screenshot of my post on my Facebook page… “Tomorrow/Monday, I will attempt to act well enough - pretending that the nonstop chronic pain and fatigue and weakness and burnout and anxiety and depression and negative self-talk and self-doubt and stress and confusion and everything else that comes with being chronically ill and in excruciating to debilitating chronic pain - so I can get up, get cleaned up and get to my local pain management appointment so we can discuss the same things that have been discussed numerous times before and I can leave the appointment knowing nothing new and having no new concrete plans for achieving true, meaningful pain relief. I’m not being negative. I’m being real. I sure hope tomorrow’s appointment proves this wrong. I would absolutely love to be wrong about this…”
“No Expectations, No Disappointments.”
