LOL! You sounded just like my husband (when he's taking a break from bobbing along side of me, saying "shall we dance?").
I'm so sorry to hear you've gone through such a .... man, it doesn't seem to do it justice to say something like "difficult journey" or "troubles." You've been to hell and back, and I wicked appreciate that you shared it with me. Mad props to you for coming out the other side in such an incredible way.
Yes, granted, we may have different names for spiritual things, but I agree - essentially the same. Thank you so much for your friendship, your prayers, your kind words, and your general awesomesauceness!
Just remember doctors are only licensed to "practice" medicine. Let them practice on someone else until they get it right. If I had listened to them I'd be in a wheelchair drooling all over myself, zombified on psychoactives and addicted to narcotics. Idiots almost had me believing I would never walk again. For about 5yrs I went through some horrible ugly shit no doubt. People making judgements, passing out in public from pain, peeing and shitting myself and not knowing it or having control over it. Felt like being struck by lightening continuously without end.
Don't give up the fight. Don't let the darkness win. Speak the L word over it.
Ugh - again, I tip my hat to you and all you've endured while still somehow managing to be such an awesome guy.
Definitely not giving up the fight, and spreading both L words over (love & laughter, naturally) everything in sight! Thanks again, dear Steven.
