Hi Rocky,

I'm so sorry for your circumstances but welcome to the forum. I know other Charite recipients who have done fine but some consider this an inferior product, you among them.

I really have no words of comfort, usually my specialty. Living in constant pain wears you down but instead of giving up, you use your job as a successful distraction which works for you. This can be an inspiration to others who find themselves also living in pain. Please keep posting your story to inspire others to find their 'life' when they feel like throwing in the towel.

Sharing horror stories can be cathartic too. Pain seems to separate us from the rest of the living. Listening to others who share similar fates makes us feel not so alone. Personally, I feel computers and the internet have depersonalized humanity but forums such as this, are a huge exception where it actually brings people together from around the globe. You have a lot to offer.

Dale
