Today I need to vent, rant, bitch, whatever. But first, some perspective. I was talking to one of my dear readers yesterday, and he pointed out just exactly how the situation could be worse. And I keep that in mind and still feel grateful during the following tirade:
It’s not so much the pain. I deal with that. It’s the frustration of not being able to do what I want to do, or that doing so takes me completely out of the game for the rest of the day, days, or week. Example:
-Wednesday I did my last chemistry lab (yes, finally) and went grocery shopping – ice and sleep the rest of the day
-Thursday I did some errands – ice and sleep, but ended up going to bed at 8:30 that night out of pain, exhaustion, and really, frustration
-Friday I did the dishes – could barely move for a few hours after
This just pisses me off. I just get so angry. The pain is fine. But it’s not the pain during the activity that’s the problem. It’s what happens after.
My family is coming for a visit and I am so, so excited. I just want to keep up with them, to not hold them back from having a good time while they are here. I’m so tired of being held back, but I’m also tired of holding everyone else back, too.
I hope that you have a good time with your family, and I hope you have a good time at the movie today, and that it's worth it...not being a Mr. Q fan before the movie, I definately am now! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, he is wonderful. I am not sure today if I will make it to the movie. I woke up in bad pain today, so it is iffy. But interviews on SNL and such will shore me up until I can see him, I mean the movie. :)
