In many ways, the life of a chronic pain patient is like the experience of life. Who, what, when, where and the why of our soul will be different in 10 minutes or 10 years, just like it is after the experience of life. Our illnesses might be invisible, but our experience is very much public. Whether it is wearing a bandage after a surgery, family or friends judging us for utilizing opiates for pain management or experiencing the pain of an epidural so we can experience life with a bigger smile, a life in pain can be a very visible wicked twisted road. The good news our chronic pain adventure has earned us the right to bad days, weeks or even months but we are still entitled to a great life experience.
