Sorry your knee is hurt @Baywasp .
I have had success with calming down my knee pain by putting a cold pack on it for 10 minutes, and then getting into a warm bath with a lot of (unscented) magnesium salts, and soaking for a good 20 minutes. aka epsom salts. I'm probably saying the obvious but thought I'd put it here anyway.
I hope it recovers and feels better today, or very soon.

my wife doesn't want me to commit suicide which i understand but she told me if god calls me home again i don't have to fight. she said she would miss me and be sad but happy i won't be suffering anymore. i think i'm starting to give in to the inevitable. suicide may or may not be a sin but going due to illness is safe

I can understand the not fighting and accepting whatever comes. That feeling of fighting a non ending war of attrition when more is taken out of you and little if anything given back know as time passes other issues will pop in...
had a nap and ended up crying. Not a lot and not terrible. Needed to happen, tho. I have a habit of stuffing everything until I explode, which makes me real fun as a coworker, I'm sure. So, I'm trying to let things out in a more timely fashion.
However, now my nerves are on fire. Like every thought in my head is about how stupid and inept I am, and anyone who doesn't see through that shit is probably just as screwy as I am. It's really uncomfortable but I'm putting mindfulness to work. When I notice I'm beating myself up, I just sort of label it and then focus on my breath. Sometimes that sounds wrong to me, like I'm just escaping into an empty head. Then again, I wasn't doing anything productive by beating myself up, and stopping that is going to save me a lot of mental anguish. Also the practice of coming back to the breath becomes stronger over time, so there is a utility there.
