Update on my last post:

I can't begin to express my gratitude for the exhistance of this forum, only if I could paint them in 14k gold, then maybe the words would be worthy. 

I am an artist, with a serious case of "artist block" for the duration of my life of pain. Yet 27 days ago, I picked up a brush and paint flowed with beauty and purpose. I also design jewelry and design metal sculpture. But my things have sat idol for so long. 27 days ago, I found this forum and posted my suffering. It's not hard to connect the dots. 

Yesterday, I purchased my own domain name for the very first time ever!  This is a check off my bucket list. I truly believe this is all happening because of this forum. Because of each of you, I am not only alive but I am truly LIVING!! Shes a live wire , isn't that appropriate?! Well, it will go live in about a month bc I need time to create inventory. 

For all of you out there, struggling to make it one more day, don't give up. DO NOT GIVE UP!  Good will come.  Beauty will come from the ashes. 

Most humbly and sincerely, 

Kim

Ok this is draft #2. I am rewriting my post because my original contained a link and has probably been deleted by the monitors. I was unaware I was breaking the rules. I'm so sorry.

    Your attiude is heartwarming for all of us with back problems.  I learned yesterday that I may likely need additional rod placement in my upper back.  I am to wear my hard shell brace for a month and hope it helps the bone to fill in.  One day at a time....

      Marcie, 

      please keep us informed of your status. I sincerely hope that the brace does its duty, making the wearing of it worth it. I am more than willing to keep in contact, sending encouragement and a listening ear. 

      My heart is healing from the inside as my body gets a little stronger each day. I  wish to be an encouragement and to express my utmost gratitude for this forum. I spent too many days, weeks, years even, thinking I was alone. 

      Kim

    Oh Kim,

    I'm so so happy for you.  I can't wait to see your picture.  It's strange, I paint too!  I don't consider my self especially talented, I mostly copy pictures from art .com and paint them for my friends and family.  I haven't picked up a paint brush in a year, but I have had some relief from my pain the last few  days.  Perhaps the RFA's did help me after all.  We'll see.  I have a picture in my mind, I know what it looks like - it represents pain, but I don't know how to put it down on paper.  Maybe if I'm lucky, it will come to me.  But I can't wait to see yours!  Keep us posted when your website comes out!

    Linda
