                    Mine is that I have an invisible illness. Its difficult but it doesn't define me. I am still me and have a good heart. This is the reason I do what I do here online in this community. I want to show my support to others.

 I was also awake when I had my plastic knuckles put in, due to heart problems I couldn't be asleep.Tammyjane33 said:@KG100 I can relate how it feels to have a invisible illness that others can't see and I think you are very brave.
 I had what's called a block done each time, my whole arm was frozen and numb and I had to look away during the operations.0
