The feeling is most acute, sometimes cripplingly so, when we find ourselves longing for the…

“The trouble with chronic pain is that it is so easy to become accustomed to it, both mentally and physically. At first it's absolutely agonizing; it's the only thing you think about, like a rock in your shoe that rubs your foot raw with every step.
