To all my dear friends and "family"...

[HENRY]

just wanted to check in with you all to let you know how things are.What with some new meds being tried and getting a new source for pain management things are really looking better for me!After standing my ground yet again I feel I've finally made progress in making my doctors understand the degree of pain I'm dealing with! I basically had to tell them that I couldn't go on living with this degree of pain,no one should be left to suffer this way!Now my doctor and therapist have really been busting their buns getting me some help!
I know that was a rather drastic approach,it's the only way I was able to make them understand!I know what my Dad's suicide did to me and I wouldn't put my friends and family through that!But I felt I needed to make my stand and get my feelings across!!Next month I'm going to be a pretty busy person with all that is scheduled for me!
In the mean time I've tried to keep myself busy with numerous things.When my attention span allows it!Really been enjoying reading some great whodunits,catching up on some movies that I always promised myself I'd watch!Still cooking up a storm when my condition allows!And of course my "kids"!They really have stuck bytheir Poppa!I'm even keeping a journal,trying my hand at creative writing,and trying to express myself artistically!Alot of these activities really help me stay centered and do help calm me too!
Before I bring this to a close I just wanted to say how very much the prayers and well wishes really touched my heart and have helped in my progress to get back to the true Henry!I love you ALL very much!!One little note I must add,if you want to get an idea where my frame of mind is I chose a "theme song" for me! It's Collective Soul,the song is called "Better Now"!!I'm sure you can find somewhere online to give a listen to it!!!
WET AND SLOPPY KISSES FROM TEDDY LITTLE BUDDY AND YOUR BUDDY THE KITCHEN GURU HENRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Henry.

We've never spoken my friend, but you sound like the kind of serendipitous character who can create positives from a negative situation.

I'm sure that you'll emerge as an even stronger person. Good luck.
