I am hurt. I am tired. I am sick. I am worn. I am worried.
I am not mean. I am not ungrateful. I am not selfish. I am not going to be a punching bag.
Chronic pain ~ All three of us have chronic pain. No we don’t take opioids. We have an arsenal of things we use to try and make our lives less painful and more productive. I just got out of bed where my leg had be above my heart. I had to heat it, message it and then put a heavy cold pack on it. Icing is painful.
I will do that several times a day. I will cry as I go up and down the stairs. I do this all day long.
At bed time I will take some medication that will hopefully let me get a few hours of sleep.
It’s not a hardship, it’s the way we must live our life. We don’t often talk about it, we just try and keep up our spirits and keep on going. It is what it is.
So yes, it would be nice to have some friends. If all you have to do is criticize please don’t bother. Just politely request I not interact with you and I will respect your wishes.
you are my hero! You face more each day than most of us in weeks or months. You are strong. You are powerful.
you are a delight and a hero!!!!!
I will put in a prayer for you.. We both had pneumonia 3 weeks ago , my husband in hospital and I not as bad at home with antibiotics…
pneumonia kills people.
We were lucky and blessed.
I cannot even imagine what you’re going through but I know it is a hard and difficult thing to deal with. You remind me that if I get a little ache or pain I should just grin and bear it because it will go away and won’t be constant. I am sorry it is so difficult for you and send you many blessings and virtual hugs.
Thanks, I could use some reassurance right now. It’s turned into a day from hell.
I will put in a prayer for you and for your family.
