I know what chronic, worsening pain is about, as do millions of folks. I pray you get relief.

yeah i I watched this interview on you tube it was from the 1990's with Stephen and Tabby. It was after Stephen King got hit by that van. He still had the fricken medal thing on his leg. He was super thin and saying he did not believe he would write again. You could see the fear and sadness in his wife's eyes. You could see the destruction in his. I was like holy f ing sh*** here these two are. More normal then ever and he is in so much pain that you can just tell he really does not believe he will right again. But I felt more sorry for his wife and I don't know if that makes me mean but she was there by his side and when he said "I don't think I will write again." and she said "you will or else you will have to find a job." and you could tell just by the look on her face that it wasn't really about the job it was about him loosing his hope. I don't know if he did this but people have a way of becoming very angry when they are in pain all the time and find a way to take it out on others. And he was fricking crushed all over ribs and his leg and all that and had a walker and I thought MY GOD MAN! he made it through that. I would have bit a bullet. My god WOOOOOOOW!!!. I read he got hit by a van but it was different to see the result. We applaud athletes who get back in the game after a compound fracture. He came back after having his life destroyed. How does someone do that. Its just unreal to me. The more I find out about this guy the more I am just appreciate his exsistance. And Tabby. Could you imagine her pain in that time watching her husband suffer and staying by his side. She looks like a tough cookie. She looks like maybe she had to tell him whats up. Just amazing. mind blow!

We are all very, very thankful that he lived through it, that he didn't give up and that he's still able to write. Thank the Powers That Be for Tabby! She is definately his rock and touchstone. He almost didn't make it, it was so very close. And, when he went to accept his award later on in New York for the National Book Foundation's Medal For Distinguished Contribution To American Letters in 2003 (a couple of years AFTER being hit by the van), he had pneumonia stemming from complications from the accident, had to be rushed to the hospital after the ceremony and he was close to death again!
