I can express myself in writing, but that is no use there (can't write much anyways with the shoulderpains..)
Suzanne, Did you think to yourself " if you try and take my crutches I'll whack you with one across your knees and see how well you walk?"
I still remember the day I came home from the surgery with the pain meds still fresh in my body. NOTHING hurt !! So for 8 hours I experienced what healthy people take for granted.
I admit I don't have a high tolerance for pain. So it bothers me when someone thinks you should be doing this or that because they can do it, or have a higher tolerance for pain. There are times I wish I could do like Mr. Spock in the old Star Trek shows. Do a vulcan mind meld and let that person feel what I feel.
It just doesn't do any good to keep telling our friends and family what hurts. If anyone asks they most likely ask just to be polite . So I quit giving my inventory of body pains. I just say to them . Same ol stuff
Have you ever had someone ask you how you're doing & before you can answer, they have turned away?
