i will be honest barb, and it's not pretty. i can live with my pain because i only have two choices. find a way to live with it to die, and i am fighting to not go by my own hand.
i was cut from my opioid pain meds by around 75% 7 or 8 years ago so yes i'm a lot worse. at least my doctor is trying to make up the difference in different ways. i have to do other things to survive.
i have morphine and hydro-morphone, 5% lidocaine patches, mmj both edibles and mostly salve, i use salve for my legs that have thc intact and combine it with the lidocaine patches. i also use a tens unit once in a while, i also use otc meds. basically i have to deal with pain in a lot of different things piece by piece.
most important barb is i pray, prayer helps. also in my nightly prayers i ask to come home. he won't let me go home yet but it won't be much longer. you also are coming to the time that god will call you home, please don't give up and try to wait. as for your pain keep fighting. push your doctor to send you to a pain clinic if he can't or won't help you. you can inbox me if you want to talk

I am doing OK. Second day of holidays and I've managed so start drinking, stop drinking again (I do this about 3x a year, I'm talking a bottle of wine at most), eat a lot of food, get back into running and start feeling the benefits of not having any effing emails to check, calls to answer or people wanting their piece of me all the time. Playing some old tunes from the 90s which was an interesting time of my life - the music is like a signature of that time. Feeling pretty good to be honest.
The Cure mainly. A lot of it's actually 80s but my first engagement with it was through Friday I'm in Love and the Wish album in 1992. Had a flatmate in my final year at Uni who was a Cure fan and I listened to a lot of it by osmosis at first - then started buying the earlier albums over the next few years.
Warn down... like an old pair of work boots. Laces tied in dozens of knots, barely hanging on through grommet-less holes. Leather warn thin with the steal toe poppin through and rusting. Tread on the bottom is warn so thin the socks are getting mud stains on them. The tongue ripped nearly out entirely.
How is it i can come up with those descriptive words... but i can't come up with answers about how i am doing, feeling, thinking? Just worn out work boots.
