False Sense of Security?

I was wondering if anyone else here has had a time when you were told the worst was over... you're a little leary, maybe... then slowly you start to feel comfortable as test after test shows no sign of the offending illness... the months pass and you find yourself living life again, feeling at ease in your own skin, smiling even, and then...

Bam! It's over a year later and you find out you need more... more meds, more operations, more procedures that send chills to your bones? How do you deal with it all over again?

    oh man, i broke my wrist once. it broke clean across, seperated, and overlapped in a parallel way. the swelling got big and a doctor didn't touch it for a few hours but they were experts and put it back in place and wrapped it. the cast got put on and i had to just not sleep and take walks because pain would not permit any. things got better though but i was faced with itching within my cast and i was real anxious with the calendar about when i could take the thing off. i used a wire coat hanger and taped cloth to it for itching. i'm fully healed with a strong wrist now so i'm happy.
