As a child, my father had hans schuller christian disease and spina bifida. One day he was seriously injured at work, rupturing several disks in his back. He had to quit his job, and for the past five years has been in terrible pain every day. He's been through bouts of depression and alcoholism, which wound up with him developing diabetes. He also suffers from muscle dystrophy. But you know what? He goes on. He doesn't take any pain killers and he lives a normal, happy life as a stay at home dad. I wish I could tell you how he does it, but all I can do is hope you can figure it out for yourself.
