RE: Love ~ The Nightmare of Existence
Sometimes I think chronic pain hurts the people around you more than you yourself . That's one of the hardest things about it . On one hand it sucks the other you see so many blessings . I don't think I would change if I could . its just what I think .
I agree and say that same thing some days and other days, eating lead floats by too. Still here, still pushing on :)
@erodedthoughts Its never more than one day at a time . some days it's down to hours at a time . Have to push on the loss to loved ones is to great .
I'd never leave them by choice, ever. I have even been pushing through days avoiding pills experiencing every muscle feel like it's tearing and bunching at once.
I've done good, even fooling the wife most days. She only seems to catch me trying to come down or go up the stairs, no idea otherwise.
@erodedthoughts Most people don't realize that the pills are a double edge sword . and when you do take one it causes another side effect . Every pill has a side effect . I am lucky in the fact that I see a pain management doctor . he has had a positive effect and influence with my regular doctors and the specialists . But there are times when the pain pills come into play . especially now with all the hoopla about pain pills . But you have to avoid them as much as possible . my measuring stick is when i'm on the floor drooling , eyes tearing and the wife is crying begging to call 911 . sucking it up is a way of life . That's why we have big boy pants . I get pissed when asked "what is your pain level from a scale of 1-10 and 10 is the worst pain you have ever felt" as if we have something in common relating to pain .
