I have learned to listen to my body and rest when I need to so I don't have to take nearly the pain meds that I was. Some days are better than others but I still have pain day and night. I also have my faith, family, friends and my voice. It has opened my eyes up to injustices and barriers that I never had to look at before. I have had to completely change my life.
