It is amazing how much more energy I have with less pain.
Chronic pain is horrible and often fairly misunderstood. I am glad you are getting effective treatment now.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Zenkitty,
can you take a mini-vacation or a day off from work?

The problem I have with sleep masks is that I wake up better with the sunrise and daylight....so if I have total darkness, I can't do that! Ideally I guess I'd wear a sleep mask and take it off around 6AM or whatever...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Doesn't help, le n. I just spend the time watching television (not what I need) and when I go back nothing's changed. I don't need rest as much as I need energy or motivation or something.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
but that's what I mean: can you take a day off and go visit a friend or something.

when I go back nothing's changed
I know that feeling. Sometimes I think a vacation is one of the worst things, because you go off and have fun in some pleasant location then you have to come back to the real world. There was a cruise line a while back that had an advertisement where a couple was going through their daily routine and bemoaning how wonderful it was on the ship. I did not see that as an encouragement.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Yay pain under 3! I rate pain meds less by how they directly affect my pain levels, but by how long I can sleep without waking up from the pain and then how I feel the next day. So enlightening to get to a milestone and think "Wow, I totally couldn't have gotten near that yesterday. Go me!" And huzzah for modern pharmaceuticals.
IOmeN, a few hours with a good friend helped miles and I feel a little silly over being so peevish. I have a sore spot 10 miles wide over feelings of exclusion and that misfired in a painfully ironic way.

Our wings are not tired
A friend from high school just posted this on FB.
GOD CREATED MARRIAGE...it was meant to be between a man & woman! If gay people want to get married, WHY do they need to do it the same way if they don't BELIEVE the same way as Christians do? Is it to prove a point that they can get married too, or is it just for the benefits???? I'm confused.
Where to even begin.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Where to even begin.
That last sentence seems like a good place.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Wait, so now you also have to be Christian too?
