		<description><![CDATA[Oh my God, Jo-Anne, I can so relate to your physical challenge, having a condition called &#039;pudendal neuralgia&#039; myself and still living with it since July 09! Not many people have heard of this illness, but it&#039;s basically a compressed nerve deep in the pelvis that brings on the most horrible pain all over the pelvic floor; you can&#039;t sit for long; and it can affect the function of organs such as bladder and bowel. I won&#039;t go into any more details, because there isn&#039;t any point in going on about it.
 
Needless to say, I have been through the depression, the &#039;wanting to die&#039; phase, the pain, tears, panic attacks, you name it and I think you and I have had it :-)
I&#039;m doing better now, after months of physical therapy. There is surgery for this but they don&#039;t recommend it as only a handful of doctors know about it and the outcome isn&#039;t that good. Besides, I believe in the body healing itself. My inner self and I have finally made a strong connection (it only took me over a year to do this), and now I am beginning to let go of the fear and I&#039;m taking more control of my life.
 
Well, that&#039;s a little about me that I wanted to share. I think what you do is great, and overcoming the obstacles is what it&#039;s all about, isn&#039;t it?
 
Hope to connect with you soon.
 
Love, Sylvia (Sydney, Australia)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Mel;

Thank you for responding on this blog. I always enjoy reading feedback from readers.
I do write fiction that has characters very close to what I&#039;ve gone through. Perhaps when I&#039;m famous (lol), I&#039;ll write a biography that others will want to read.

Blessings to you.

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Jo-Anne,
Have you ever written your story as a book?  I was commissioned by Hodder &amp; Stoughton some years ago to write the story of a lady who had a brain tumour and who, though she became wheel-chair bound, went on to write books of poetry.  Her courage and faith were an inspiration to many.  The book, Healed Within, is out of print, but I still have copies.

I wish you well with your writing / publishing enterprise.  God bless,
Mel Menzies]]></description>
