Thanks to everyone who responded to my last post. Every thing is fine now. I didn't respond back because I thought I had disabled the comments and I never got an email notification from LJ that anyone had responded. I really just wanted to vent in hopes that that would help facilitate sleep

I think I missed your last post :(
I'm like you and like 100 posts behind and I've been reading all day so far!

I knew this would happen when I started adding communities to my friends page, but shit...I found some really cool communities. What's a girl to do?

FYI, you don't have to add a community to your friends list. You can just be a member and look at the community's entry page when you feel like it or have the time. ;)

[bird_22]

Hi...yeah, I did know that. I used to never add them, but I also found I hardly ever checked them either. I recently found some really great ones and figured it was worth it whenever this happened.

i'm behind too. i'm so sorry you're in so much pain :(

can you take a percocet or something? maybe call the dr?

[bird_22]

I'm allergic to most pain meds. :( If this doesn't get better soon I'll probably have the drs I work for take an xray. It really is so different from the pain I'm used to.

[codekitten]

how are you feeling now?

Chronic pain can be very emotionally draining. Don't get down on youself. I'm sure nobody expects you to just suck it up as badly as you do yourself. It is hard accepting a limitation that a bad back gives you.

I know people don't expect it from me, but I also know that no-body wants to hear it either. I feel like, with the amount of pain that I deal with everyday, I do an exceptional job of sucking it up and accepting the limitations. But this so different. This one is really kicking my ass.

As far as getting down on myself...I think that would be easier than feeling like I'm getting down on everyone else. I need to be pampered right now. I need to be the focus. I need to be overwhelmed with caring...and I'm not getting that. I do not like feeling like that.

Be sure and fill in my post card poll!

What is the constant pain about?

Btw, do you filter your friends so only individuals show up, not communities? It really helps!

Randi, can I ask, when was the last time you were single?

[bird_22]

Post card poll? I'll check it out.

I was in 4 car accidents and fell down two different flights of stairs in 2 years. Then years later fell down another flight of stairs...yeah, just call me Grace.

I just added some new communities to my friends page...but it's worth it. I just need to not go so long between reading it.

this is Randi, last time I was single was before I met Bird for 5yrs.

[panimu]

Arghhhh, I made a slip. I meant to type "bird", not "Randi". Sorry :(

Please apologise to Randi for me, that must have seemed such an odd/rude thing.

[bird_22]

It not only didn't seem rude or odd, but instead, endearing and sweet. It is as if by reading about her as much as you have you felt comfortable enough to phrase the question directly to her.
