Biggest adjustment...

That would probably be not being able to do all the things I took for granted. Cooking, cleaning, doing animal chores, playing with siblings, playing with my dog, even just showering with out ending up doubled over in pain. Even just wearing jeans and a belt kills me. People don't understand the pain. They think we exaggerate or use it as an excuse. We don't, at least I don't. I try to hide it as much as I can. But there's only so much you can hide when the pain is all consuming. When all that registers is pain. The pain is mind numbing.
