I've learned something valuable about motivation in the process: it provides a strength, a drive to remain alive, we mortals had never suspected we have!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your compassion, Star.

I had no idea what to expect--and it was pretty bad. But I remember those two nights lying there, breathing hard, my heart pounding with fear. The only thing I could think of to comfort myself was: Soldiers wounded in Iraq have much worse issues...and Other people have done it, so I can, too.<BR/>I ended up with three more surgeries, and those were preceded by sleepless nights, too. This stuff is hard!
