Ya know, a little reality check here and there does me good. I have a job where I see the absolute worst in people. I see people in crisis day in and day out. I am recognizing these bouts of intesense stabbing in pain, as HORRIFFIC that they are, eventually pass and isn’t going to kill me. I have seen people die. Lots of them. I have a friend who has less than 3 years too live due to cancer and has a wife and a 7 year old daughter. I have another friend who is in the hospital suffering from Lueukemia.
I am thankful for this site so I can vent to other suffers who understand my pain. I hate talking about it with other people who cant grasp the concept of this indescribable pain. But then I remember I’m not going to die (at least not from TN) and there are numerous people who are also in a WORSE situation because their condition is going to kill them. Compared to that, my condition is nothing and my own little pity party is doing nothing to help them.
Thank you for sharing this, Scuba Chick. Such a great reminder! I was thinking the same thing the other day. I know several women with young children who have died from cancer and a couple more who have had serious accidents.
thank you for that...you are so correct...i sometimes have some real good days and i feel so normal. the pain meds are doing their job and the weather in texas is sometimes good for my face too especially if it's real hot so I get what you are saying..thanks for the reality check....appreciate ya.!
scubachic, u r not having ur own pity party cuz it's true hurt and pain. I have been scared of death when i was denied medical help cuz of vindictive ppl effecting my life. I am now finally at a good point and I have to thank all u on this site. I been on only a few days but i have gotten more done in the last few days than i can remember. My dogs keep playing and wagging their tails when i sit down 2 take a break. It's like they can feel my renewed excitement and decreased pain. I got up today and didn't even have to take my meds for over an hr. Thanks so much 4 you "venting". it feels so good to read the exact things i would write. God bless xoxox
