Too bad we have to go through but it's the old cliche: What doesn't kill us makes us strong.

I imagine we’re all had similar experiences and wished for an advocate to little avail. I’m happy you ‘escaped’ with a little help from your friends and your ‘inner child.’ I’m reckoning that advice through the ages is to counter and suggest measures to change our thinking in order to cope with this world’s countless challenges. From imprisonment to segregation to genocide the list seems endless. Lessons are plentiful as well and with hard determination we hopefully learn before we die. Silently suffering we become complicit to ours and other’s plights and learn to tolerate instead of changing. Good example you’ve shared - here’s trusting and visualizing your complete recovery and relating to your discomfort.

It wasn't just your body that underwent a great insult. Good on you for not becoming another guinea pig for Doctor Demon.

:( Much love to you Andrea. I have a lot to say about this experience but don't have time now. I will be back. Hospital is a place to avoid unless you have an emergency like a car accident.
