Pain
Being ill from cancer I suffer from both physical and emotional pain." Which is the worser of the two?" I argue back and forth within my mind. I come to the conclusion more often than not that it is the emotional pain that torments me the most.

Post a CommentHey Lori,
It's your sista-Kiz. I missed you this weekend and will see you again soon. Come visit any time ok?
Much love,
Kizzy-lou
Thanks Kiz.
Love You too!
Hi Lori! I just wanted to tell you that I think about you all the time. I am horrible with correspondence and rarely even call my own parents. Kizzy forwarded me the link to your blog a while ago and I'm not sure why I haven't written yet. I guess I wasn't sure what to say...I'm still not. All I know is that you are truly amazing and I am sending you the best of wishes. Geez, this sounds so lame...I guess that is why I was afraid to write. We emailed a while back about meeting for coffee sometime...I would love that. Next time you make it to the bay area you should let me know if you feel like it or maybe next time I'm in Sactown we can rage Coffeeworks and reminisce about the old days. I don't keep in touch with any of the old crew anymore (besides Kizzy, but I consider her New Helvetia crew anyway). Do you ever talk to any of our old posse? Dede? Regan? Mark Herzig? What's up with those guys?
much love,
kelly
The photo certainly conveys some severe emotional pain. It looks a bit like the poster for "Blair Witch Project" (except it is real, of course), and you seem to be looking for someone to comfort you, or perhaps at the picture in the top corner of your blog where you look healthier.
I don't suppose it helps to blog about the pain. I wonder why there are so few blogs by people with severe illness. It occurs to me perhaps that by objectifying ones pain, it may make it more painful.
At the same time while I have never noticed being ill (other than by being alive - which is sort of terminal) but when I thought I was ill it seemed that isolation was quite a large part of the problem. The iller one is the more there seems to be an invisible wall in between oneself and others. I know nothing.
Thank you for your flickr group and blog. They are empowering.
Tim
As you know we love you very much.

I know what your saying honey! It sucks :*(
Hi Lori, even if I haven't met you personally I just want you to know that you're close to my heart. Hang in there, sweets.
I love you the mostest, sweet-pea!
Hi Lori,
What a courageous woman you are! Once you are cancer free (and I believe that you will be) you will be quite the force to reckon with (in a good way of course)! I hope your day is peaceful, pain free and optimistic.
I can only imagine the pain of both. Hoping sweeter days lie ahead.
yeah I get what u mean Lori. After being diagnosed of NF, I am never the same again. Physical pain may go away but emotional pain is deep inside us.
Wish I can be there to give you a hug.
Hi sweetie, I didn't see this on Monday or I would have responded sooner. I love you Lori, from the tip of your tiny little nose to bottom of your tiny little toes. If I could, you know I would, do anything for you. I sometimes feel so helpless. I'll ride this roller coaster with ya. I'll be right by your side now and always. Thanks for letting me in. Alice
Lori,
Hang in there girl. You are my inspiration as is my wife that beat breast cancer. We still deal with the aftermath, but that is all you can do. You have to continue to push forward. You never cease to amaze me, just like my wife. You obviously have an incredible support system and wonderful love coming your way. I think about you and Cary all the time trying to figure out ways to help you guys. I wont give up either. Hang in there and thank you for sharing your situation. It truly gives me inspiration. On a side note, I will be reading Seth Lombardy's blog now also. He is another amazing person that I appreciate and consider inspiration.

Kiss from Japan.
