i hope you feel better soon. just fyi anytime i am sick or have new pain issues i research it online. when something seems to fit what's happening i talk with my doctor. a lot of times it's right and he works on it and if i'm wrong he explains why. just an example my left leg and foot swelled up. then just my foot. i didn't think it was possible but i looked up if post sepsis syndrome could cause it, i found out it's a common symptom. baically i'm saying be your own advocate and learn as much as possible so you can help your doctor make you better

i am getting better, really i am. i am dealing with post sepsis syndrome from my hospital stay in late september. my chronic fatigue is slowly getting better, and my swollen foot is going up and down but also getting a little better. my depression and anxiety is a lot better, my suicidal ideation is also a lot better, i was worried for a bit because i was a lot more suicidal than i said. i think i was a little delusional about those thoughts even to myself. now that i can see the light at the end of the tunnel i'm starting to fight again, and i know i will win

I brought a small xmas cake today which was a struggle.
Sounds funny that these small items hold so many memories and cause a flood of emotions. I got the cake because its very tasty, i wish i could share it with my friend, like we normally did.
At least there will be no arguments as to whos eaten more of it than the other.

i sometimes take prednisone when i have a bad cough. i have pretty bad copd so any respiratory condition can get bad. i usually take it for 5 days to a week and it helps me. my doctor tells me when i need it and he makes sure i always have some at home just in case. just fyi

I don't know why but I don't like antibiotics.... well I do know in the past in had a different reaction. Hopefully it's right to take it. When he didn't check my lungs with a stethoscope I found it weird. I have a hard time trusting doctors so this really helps me Mike. I want the scratchy feeling gone. How are you?
i sometimes wonder why god allows so much suffering in the world, then i remember that god gave people free will, some people use that free will for evil. that is man causing suffering not god. i completely lost my faith once when i lost my 8 year old nephew. i turned away from god for a few years but i came back. i hope when i die i can understand.
as far as being bitchy i totally understand. i can tolerate pain but once i hit 8 on the 10 scale i get very touchy, when i hit 9 or 10 i get unpleasant to be around lol, i'm not abusive but very testy. my wife understands and i always apologize even though i don't need to. i'm sorry your doctor won't increase your pain meds. all the opioid crises did was cause more od deaths and made legitamate pain patients suffer.

@Pebble mouse I had been wondering how were doing, because I hadn't seen you post for a while. I hope the episode clears away soon so you can feel a lot better.

Jim Morrison. My proxy-idol as he was the idol of one of my friends who I looked up to as being far more musically adept. When I was an edgy teen (stoner, goth, band geek, whatever) I thought it was so awesome that I was, as Bruce McCulloch would say, A Doors Fan - but now I listen to it and it's kind of mixed. Some of the Doors songs are great, but others sound like they were churned out as filler. I think it's hard for me to separate out the music from the sort of hipster vibe given off by me (and others) around being so musically eclectic that we listened to this "super obscure" classic rock that only we could understand. In reality everyone knows about The Doors so I don't know what we were smoking. Scratch that, I do know...
I recognize that feeling. I went to a park yesterday. Definitely not as refreshing as getting away from pavement entirely, but also better than nothing. Lately I've been hearing the kids say this thing about "go touch grass," which means to log off the interwebs for a bit and get outside. Interesting how the natural ground of the planet is so metaphorically grounding, too. I also have some planter pots and soil I grabbed from a resident in my building who was giving them away. Now to figure out what to grow.
