Oh msimon - I know just what you are saying. There are stretches of time that I just don't think it is worth it. But then there are ALWAYS times that I am so glad and thankful that I am here. Times that I feel good, times with my family and friends that I would never have wanted to miss. And I always hold out hope that I have a normal life in my future or at least a life not so filled with pain. You still have many options, an LIS, a second LIS, flaps and so on. I have some left too but it is hard to get there and go through it. I feel your tears. I do.
Alyssa - I agree unless someone has gone through this they cannot understand how encompassing it is however much they care about or love us. It is hard to believe that if these cuts were ANY where else on our bodies they would have been healed in 10 days! Isn't that just crazy. But you too have many options left. I am sorry your spirits have been so low recently but they will get higher and be low again before it is all over. With that said, it is still a hell of a thing. My heart goes out to all of us here who suffer.
Thank you for sharing, it validates so many of my own feelings and I don't feel so alone. I hope I could give even the smallest encouragement.
