Just Don't Quit!
I have known about this poem for many years but forgotten about it until I found it on this website The Dont Quit Poem. I think it is very apt for anyone dealing with back and sciatic pain and all the things we have to go through. I wish I knew who wrote it but from what I can find it is anon. It is important to never give up looking for your solution and to "keep on keeping on" as my Auntie used to say... I was so close to giving up and resigning myself to a life of limited mobility. Everyone else(apart from my husband) had pretty much given up on me ever getting better. Even professionals told me it was accept surgery with a long recuperation and no guarantees or learn to live with it. So after a period of total inaction I decided to get grateful for what I did have and in the game again and with a much better, clearer and more proactive mental attitude, determined to find another way.... So I hope this is a little bit of inspiration for you if you are go...
