The pain is rather bad today. Some of you may know and some of you may not know I had a car accident in July last year, the 24th of July 2008 to be exact

You can only take as much as you can take! (Trust me: these last few months, I know this well) Try to be kind to yourself. Chronic pain, not to mention excruciating pain is utterly exhausting.
I'm sending you a -virtual hug (so it doesnt hurt), -hours of restful, peaceful sleep -three of your favorite comfort foods, which I have declared calorie-free for the next few days (unless you need the calories, then they are tripled, lol)
Know that as I go thru my day I;ll be thinking of you.
Reef *hugs* Thank you for your words. I actually haven't been eating much lately, stomach expands pushes on the ribs, you know how it is. losing weight however and its a good thing im at 76kg, need to be 65kg, bad thing is i'm extremely bitchy :P
I'm at about 84kg and need to be about 66kg, so I understand.
Given all the pain (and frustration surrounding all these events!) I'd think extremely bitchy is rather completely normal. Not comfortable, but normal. Would a nice weightless float in a pool help? (I'll spare you my doctoring schtick. I'm sure you've had quite enough of that!)
I'm reminded of that because my barely-able-to-walk 81 yr old father has agreed to start working out in a local pool. He's balking because the logistics of getting in and out of the pool are a bit daunting. So I promised him when I go home next week, I'll shave all the relevant parts in order to appear in public in a bathing suit and we'll go to the pool together and get all that sorted out for him. That I'm an ex-firefighter gives him a bit more confidence in my ability to handle any incipient falls and the like. He taught me to swim, so I'm looking forward to helping him out!
I'd like to apologize about the fact that I totally do not check into LJ or Facebook etc. on a regular basis, hence keep missing these things.... It really isn't due to a lack of interest in other people's lives, people I got to know a bit and like a lot. It's just that I have a few problems of my own and try to focus on RL more right now.
Now that that's out, I'd like to say how sorry I am for your physical pain. When your body is bruised, it always leaves bruises on your mind and soul as well. You shouldn't feel ashamed of crying (which I assume you don't anyway, but I got the impression that you're a strong person and might not like to succumb to tears - am I right?). Crying can be quite healthy, actually. It's good to get it out of your system.
Sending you heaps of good vibes! Hope that eventually the pain will vanish or at least show its ugly face less often. *hugs*
I'm like Erica in a way, I get teary sure but most of the time keep it to myself or do it in private away from prying eyes, was watching the Gray's ep where they killed the serial killer last night, it got to me but i have alot of control on it most of the time, but when the pain is too great the walls crumble. Its not easy being in pain 24 hours a day. I understand about RL and needing to concentrate on that, I am about to start a month of being in charge of my work because the boss is going away, 7 am starts with a four hour break in between and i finish at 7pm, literally a 12 hour day...means I have to put my drabbles and avatar creations on hold till she gets back and by the end of it all I will be totally stuffed.
