Good on you Leo.
It is a great kindness to make folk laugh and to spread happiness rather than gloom.
I greatly hope that your suffering eases somewhat or at least you keep your resolve to keep going notwithstanding the difficulties that pain forces upon one.

I've always accepted there are people a lot worse off than I am health wise.
Though I was forcibly retired at 31, disability pension isn't an income where I was previously on a high salary but I've survived. I don't live a lavish life, far from it, I drive a 32 year old Ford Falcon and endeavour to do what work is required as required (I do my own mechanical and electronics) but it is what it is, I can either look at all of the negatives and be miserable or find positives (Like I don't have to take my car to a mechanic because it's impossible to logically figure out what's wrong with it, even for the mechanics). I'm alive, though I NEVER make plans and live each day as it comes dependant on how I feel when I wake up. I still get to do what I enjoy on occasions. I don't go on holidays and trips further than the local shops are rare.
I'm sure my life could be worse if I wanted to focus on the negatives.
Having spent many periods in my life where deep depression has taken hold for one reason or another I've found it extremely beneficial to force myself to look at any situation from more than just my one, warped, narrow minded perspective. It's kept me alive and a semblance of sanity in my life.
I have read things here and believe you have gone through much worse Alex, you too are a fighter.
Stay well!
