Pain - What Do You Do?

I have been having my eyes opened for sure lately!
I used to complain about things but I have to tell you now that I have been dealing with this pain in my elbow and hand it really makes you appreciate how you used to feel before!!
I am constantly thinking about how when you feel like you can't possibly go on because you hurt and want to just lay down and take a nap but you can't you HAVE to go to work. It is beyond me how people who are alone and sole supporting themselves do it. It is scary as HELL! You just have to do it - I pray that I get better and I don't have to face this pain the rest of my life!
