Reblogged from United Methodeviations:
Those who know me well know that my 2012 crawled to a close with a whimper and a moan. An old back injury flared up with a bone spur off my spine that keeps me in a constant state of excruciating pain and chronic distress. I have NEVER experienced pain like this -- and I hope it is making me much more sympathetic and empathetic with those who live this way all the time.
