Hobbling Hope

It's been so long, yet one can hope.

And because it's been so long, it hit me unexpectedly.

My legs gave way in public yesterday.
While the pain in one leg is excruciating, it's the emotional shock that is unbearable. I had to restrain myself from crying while I hobble along... while polite people try their best not to stare. It's not a big commotion like fainting or something similar. But hobbling still draws non-stares.

I know I should consult a doctor now that it's back. But I'm scared of the results. Without a definite result, one can hope that it'll go away with healthier diets and healthier lifestyle. And besides, one's willpower and faith can do amazing things at times.

I'm not in denial. I just don't see the point in being told once more that there's nothing I can do.

What's with the comment above? Anyway, it's good to check out the leg pain with a doctor, love. See if it's any physical injury. If it's not, i recommend this book - http://www.amazon.com/Healing-Back-Pain-Mind-Body-Connection/dp/0446392308
(It's not only for back but any part of the body that has pain, even if it's for no reason at all.)
It's not a placebo effect, and it's real. I've personally cured myself from all back pains and arm pains i usually have. (Zal too, and two more of my other friends can back this up.) So just check, if it's not any physical injury (of which is fine, because our bones are made of stronger stuff than we think they are) and read this book if it comes back love. :)
