This is sad
« on: October 03, 2014, 06:54:28 PM »
Looks like I am the only one on here that did not have a life today. It is not fair. Ya'll need to quit having a life too. Or maybe I should try harder. That's what I will do, try harder "next week". Having a life takes soooooooo much energy. Maybe I will just sleep next week and save up my energy for the week after that.

Life? I spent the day recovering from the torture of yesterdays doctors visit. Poke , prod , bend , twist , scrape , scratch and stick with sharp pins.They all do the same thing  and every time I loose a few days recovering. I think we imagine other people having more exciting lives than they do. Gotta get back to rocks tomorrow.

I hope tomorrow is an improvement over yesterday and today.

I look at it as "if they did not shove something the size of a VW up my butt" it was a good doctor visit.

I just have trouble getting on the computer in the room at my Parents house because my Husband sets up his laptop at my computer desk and then I cannot get onto the computer at all.  I had to push him off the computer a bit ago just to get online to check email and charge my phone etc.  If I let him he would be at this desk all day instead of visiting with the family.

Vince and my life consists of getting up, going to work, coming home, eating dinner, going to bed, ad nauseum.  This last week was a particularly stressful one, so we were in bed at 8:00 on a Friday night!   :sad5:  Day jobs suck, but the bills must be paid.   :dontknow:

For the record, this is part of life too, so congratulations, you and I both now have a life!!!   :toothy12:

You know, in the big picture, if you wake up you are doing good.  Whatever you do after that counts for something and as long as you aren't dragging anyone else down, it's all good!!!

Jim, sometimes it's hard, but you have passion to do and a creative mind.  Be easy on yourself you are going through a lot and probably doing more than you think.

My philosophy has always been "no matter how bad you have it there are a lot of others that have it worse". I am thinking about changing it to "if they don't fix this efin back I am going to have to start killing people". Then I meet someone like Frank and change it to "jeeze, I sure have it good".

The biggest downer I have now is how the doctors and workman's comp are treating my son. I will post his story as soon as his girlfriend gets it written up. They are shafting him at every turn and it is something new every week. I just shake my head in wonder at every new thing that pops up. Time to get a really good lawyer because everyone else that tries to help him out gets shut down by someone else or some new rule. Super frustrating to say the least.

Anyway, thanks a bunch for the encouragement. It means a lot.

I have a prescription for "happy pills" for my back and knee to take as needed to keep the pain down to a dull roar; they work a lot better if I don't baby my back. The doc wants me to take 4 a day, every day but I cut one in half and take half first thing in the morning and then the other half at 3-4pm.  Like I said, a dull roar but I can live with it for now; it's nowhere near what kidney stones are like LOL

hahaha I have happy pills too but most of the time I may as well be taking aroma therapy because they no longer do any good. I will admit that 98% of the time it is not as bad as kidney stones but there are short spurts that drop me where I stand. I can get it to go away most of the time by laying down for a while but sometimes that is just not possible (especially when I am out hounding lol) Tomorrow is going to be a bad day because I sat leaning forward a lot today. The other options, sitting doing nothing or laying doing nothing, are not acceptable. So, I live with it and try to not bitch too much which is one reason the VA does not fix it. I am not the squeakiest wheel.

yes, I admit when the pain is like someone has both hands wrapped around your spine and is squeezing for all their worth, I can't even stand up; I lay around and piss and moan, but there's no one here to listen so it does no good LOL. It takes three days for that to go away and it's all I can do to get something to eat when I have to; sometimes It takes two days just to feed myself LOL; maybe that's why I'm loseing weight.....I lost 25lbs. this summer. I've got to get myself a live in nanny I think LOL

I think that I am lucky that after a lifetime of excruciating back pain that was misdiagnosed I will soon have the problem fixed which will get rid of the paralysis if not the pain. The drug that has me on my feet and crutches is gabbopentin. Without it I cannot get on my feet . Pain clinics that are first rate have lots of tricks up their sleeves now a days thankfully.

Jim, Frank, and Lloyd, I know a little (compared to your troubles) about back trouble too, and wish you all three all the best with your ailments.

All I did was blow out the L5-S1 disk, but that made me try to take better care of myself. That disk just left me with a little numbness on the side of my left foot and little toe after I got it fixed. Definitely could have been worse. Now I just wobble a bit sometimes. Fusing vertebrae would be the next "fix", so I try to be careful of what I do now.

Best wishes to all you guys, and to anyone else who has to deal with back troubles. I know there are several of us on here.

Be careful because as my problems progressed I would fall over backwards resulting in some really bad falls. Life adds up in wear and tear.

How I wish chronic pain was not part of life, especially as we get older.  My husband battled pain for quite a few years.  It go so bad he barely got any sleep.  You want to help, even though there is nothing you can do.  I hate that feeling of helplessness, and inadequacy.   

If I could go back in time, I'd be the loudest squeakiest wheel with the doctors I could be.  If you are not you will not get the care and attention you need.
