mortality
I am just getting home from a cortisone shot in my spine (they are unpleasant) and have been wondering at what point does it become too much work and/or pain to fix the things that don't work. I gave up long ago trying to fix the things that aren't working properly...just get the ones that don't work at all. Doctors ask me about pain and I say that it's easier to tell them what doesn't hurt. After going through this off and on with them for several years I have come to realize that on the pain scale that they make you fill out, I don't feel anything from the 1-3 range. I banged my knee getting on the hospital table and everyone stopped and the doc asks if I'm OK. "What?", was my response. He asked about my knee and I said I barely felt it. "must be nice" says the doc. It stopped there but the real problem is that it let's you tolerate pain that should be warning you to stop. Well I didn't tell him that but that was my realization for the day.
How far is it worth it to continue. I have no desire to live forever if it turns out like "Death becomes her". People need surgery after surgery as they get older. I guess maybe you just hit one that's too hard to get over and say no more. At least my physical pain is again exceeding my emotional pain. That's a happier place to be.
I'm goin out tonight for a while to the club for some boozing and partyn. Any y'all headin out? Can't say how late I'll last but will make open bar.
