How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[1964dodge]

i am exhausted and in more pain because of all the testing at my lung specialist. i had so many tests that actually made my lungs hurt, and they repeated all 6 tests 3 to 5 times each. one test was kind of bonkers. all the #s were ok but when they printed out the graph it came out weird. they even found another technician and he couldn't figure it out lol. i had to finish the walking test early i just couldn't do it.

there is a silver lining to this. even though i should go at least once a year i haven't had these tests in 6 years. the good thing is i'm still at 49% lung capacity. this is good because after what happened to me 6 years ago most people last 5 or 6 years so i'm beating the odds if i'm the same after 6 years

Worthless. I don't want any platitudes or anyone to say it'll get better. Thanks.

you are not worthless, i won't say that you'll get better but i do hope you can find a way to enjoy life, at least a little

This topic is simple. Post how you are right now. It could be what your thinking, doing, listening to, writing...whatever! Because you know what they say:

"Get out of the past, stop dreading the future, and worry about now!"

Right now, I'm so-so, not happy, not sad, but less stressed because it's Saturday.

I'm refreshing this because it's good.

I'm feeling pleased about a little something, very lonely, and at the same time grateful for my kiddos. 🤗

starting to feel better. my leg pain became unbearable while we were out. as luck would have it i just got my mor[hine from the pharmacy, only problem it wouldn't start working until i got home lol. and a different chest pain the last few days. time for nitro, weird thing is they did an ultra sound of my heart for my lung speacilist and the heart looked good. so pain coming down slowly. so starting to feel better. funny how i can keep my mood above water when thngs aren't so good. that is because of SF i'm sure of it

I'm sorry, that sounds awful. I was told I had plantar fasciitis a couple years ago, but I'm not positive. I think it eventually went away on its own, but I could barely walk for a bit. I went to an urgent care center and they did an x-ray. They saw something that looked like it could be evidence of a fracture, so they put me on crutches with a boot for a week, until the podiatrist had a look.

i took my wfe to the bin store today, and goodwill. the bin store has everything for $1 on thursdays so my wife loves it. about a half hour before we came home my legs got really bad, i took a morphine but it takes a while to start. as soon as i got home i treated my pain aggressively.

i know my pain will come down eventually no matter how bad it gets. usually this keeps me calm and depression and anxiety are low. once in a while those dark thoughts sneak in even when i know it will get better. i wasn't really suicidal at all but i did start to fantasize about it. but just like always pain is down now and mood is great.
