I’m not sure why Zirkels allowed me to “reward” you on this article, but not on a different one I just read. Anyway, sorry to read that you live with chronic pain, but as they say…misery loves company.

I too can’t remember the last time I ever felt good. This is why it’s 1:00 in the morning and I’m awake writing to you LOL I hurt all over…to the point I’m very often nauseous. I just took a Zofran to help with that. I am under the care of a pain management specialist but all they do anymore is give me the ability to get some meds for the times I can’t suck it up enough to handle the pain without some help. For the most part I just try to power through it.

I’ve gained a lot of weight because the pain keeps me from being that over the top fitness freak I used to be. This in turn just makes things worse. I’m in a horrible snowball effect. As Merle Haggard sings, “I’m rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell.” 🎶

Time to put on my meditation app and see if I can focus on the story being told and not my legal issues or the pain I’m in.

Good luck to us both my friend! I sure hope for good things and better days for us 🤗
Hope Keegan is doing well!! ✌🏼

Keegan is doing great. Trying to teach him how to ride a bike. He won't peddle. So I had to push/pull him up and down the driveway. Just about killed me. Lol

😅 I normally don’t use diamond…feels like node options will dwindle so we can all focus on only using focus…

Yes. I put on a stack of weight since the accident. I've since stopped adding and even lost some. But need to lose 30 to 40kgs. The added weight contributes to the pain. 1kg extra weight is 4kgs worth to the knees in loading. This causes more pain. Which of course all of that contributes to mental health issues. Which adds to weight gain.. Seems like there's a cycle there. A rather vicious one. Haven't even mentioned sleep issues. Also getting cold here.

I think this article is important and informs us what others may be suffering. I can't imagine what it would be like trying to manage this. The other night I woke up feeling very ill with a painful upset tummy. I was so miserable and the few hours I suffered seemed like a lifetime. So when others suffer chronic pain, even though I don't know what to do to support, and I feel helpless at least I can have a compassionate heart. This article has opened me to stay open, stay compassionate for others suffering. I have a sister who is suffering chronic pain, and she isn't allowing anyone to be close to her. Well, I think I will give her a call just to say hello. Thank you for your sharing.
