Re: SO angry about my surgical report.

[Guest guest]

Thank you, . It helps hearing positive things. I try to respond to

comments and endig up writing a novella. I have turned 50 in March and now the

next chapter in my life will be trying to slow down the down hill process of

life. When we're younger it seems like we can't wait to get older and now that

we are we want the age process to slow down a bit. I'm trying to find " growing

old gracefully " . Has anyone seen it?

I remember calling up my best friend when I was 16, talking her into running

away from home because " we were never going to turn 18. " Who knew!!!!

When we're younger it seems like we can't wait to get older and now that we

are we want the age process to slow down a bit. I'm trying to find " growing

old gracefully " . Has anyone seen it?

Not to worry about growing older, Cheryle. I'm way older than you,

just had a fusion from C2-T2, and I'm healing nicely and still kicking

up my heels.

NO, But if/when you do, let me know where it's at too. I am really tired of not

being able to take this pain gracefully, much less getting old. lol

I come close to smacking anyone who says that shit! I hate that and I'm not a

hater. My pain doctor doesn't listen to me when I tell him my pain meds aren't

working around the clock. I rarely sleep more than 6 hours from pain. Normally,

I sleep 2 hours at a time. My neck hurts so much now that I feel like I want to

cut my head off. Makes me want to scream. I hate to say it but I sometimes wish

them to experience a back/neck injury so they can know what we go through. I

banish those thought immediately but for fuck sake, what are we to do?

Cheryl,

I understand the sleeping thing for sure. What I would give to be able to sleep

for 3 strait hours without getting woke up with muscle spazms. If I could

physically jump off the rollarcoaster Girl I would. Dealing with pain is a big

battle.... Dealing with a weight issue is one also. Both I understand

completely. I have tried to be in

charge of my medical situation as far as my back is concerned because i knew

several folks that have had one surgery after another and the pain never goes

away. Really makes my pain management dr. pissed sometimes but if a medication

makes me gain weight i will refuse to take it because there pharmicutical

compnies have other meds out there that will help. I always tend to manage my

pain meds another thing my pain management doc hates. I will not increase unless

I know i can noit take it anymore. I take less if I h\am having a good day so to

say and so on. All of which takes strength to deal with. He tells me everytime I

see him that I should do this or that. But I know my body and my pain and

everyones scale is at a different level. Some days I wake up in tears while

other days can roll out slow but sure. So YES I understand where you are coming

from. I too get tired of folks giving me the posistive quotes i just tell them

to save it until I am having a good day because right now the world and it krama

or whatever and I are pissed at each other LOL
