Most of us know one another here, some are new and don't understand our personalities; by now you understand mine, I understand yours, etc. and I would have found no offense in what you said. You are saying pain is pain, no matter what kind, how much or how long, and should be dealt with in the same manner if one is suffering.
Geese, is there a full moon out or what? People need to stay a little calmer here, no one is out to offend anyone, just help and offer support, love and kindness.
Now we love you and you are a wonderful contribution to this board and would be missed greatly.
Love,
Helen C.
