I updated my journal

May 17, 2008 13:07



I was able to be seen by a neurologist yesterday, I spent money for tests that basically proved what I already knew. I have CRPS, no doubt about it. It has spread to my hand in spite of what others have told me, it could and has happened. It sucks but I'm dealing with it.

Right now all I really care about is continuing to work toward being more financially independent by getting a job. I want to continue my education, so I'm getting everything in order to enroll in the fall. I want to challenge the Army and get what I rightfully deserve. I will not let this pain derail me as I have far too many times over the years.

I have to keep moving forward, pain be damned.

I found this today. It is a letter to friends and family of anyone going through this, I wish I had found it sooner because it put words to many of the thoughts and feelings I've had since the start of this. Please read.

crps, real life
