This is for you out there that are in chronic pain..An endless expedition up Mt. Everest in a blizzard. No glorious photo-op moment at the top. No way anyone can understand your herculean efforts in this impossible mission. An honest person, you find yourself lying everyday. "How are you?" "Fine". You shield those around you from what you are going through, not wanting to spread the misery. You compartmentalize the pain (Spock-like) as much as is humanly possible, but sometimes it overwhelms you.
