Pete,

If I were a violent person, I would have snatched a few heads off over comments about meds. When I forget something or make a mistake I hate the comment she must be over medicated today. I have developed an evil glare and the occasional not so kind remark that get my point across. I wish I could go back to the days of my daily vitamins (I'm sure we all wish for that day).
Yesterday was a very very painful day (brought on by a sleepless night due to my pregnant daughter in law being in the hospital, she's ok and back home). I tried to keep moving and keep my mind off the pain it wasn't easy. My pain level was too high and my energy level too low.
What I really wanted to do was pull the covers over my head and not move. When I do that I feel guilty for wasting the day. If it's not pain we battle it's the emotional roller coasters. In my pain journal when I give a pain rating I give an emotional rating. I think most will agree when we loss control of our emotions our pain is a lot worse.
Something else that gets under my skin. When people around me will comment about pain they have. I want to scream at the top of my lungs welcome to my world!
What we deal with is so unfair and at times so cruel. We aren't alone in this. My mom, "God rest her soul", use to tell me if it doesn't kill you it will make you stronger. We are aloud to have a rotten day from time to time. Yesterday was my rotten day today I will pick myself up put on a smile and dare the affects of pain to try and rule another day.

Pete and Dew I wish you a day filled with what every makes you happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take care of you,
Sherrie
