Thanks. I feel like I do nothing but vent these days. Well, vent and grade and occasionally change wound dressings.
I got stabbed, you know, right here.

Oh wait, need to count a few blessings: 1) kids have been very affectionate and snuggly, 2) best husband on Earth.

There has to be somewhere where you can say that this has been hard and this is the place.
What Ginger said. {{{Burrell}}} I'm sorry this is so hard.

And as sarameg said, that's okay. (Also, probably not really true, even if it feels like it.) It's okay to feel that way, and it's ok to vent about it.

I'm also at the point where I need to ask for a few accommodations from work. I'm kinda overwhelmed.

Good lord, Burrell, vent away. Better to vent then to implode or explode.

Pain tolerance is weird. I always thought of my self as having high pain tolerance and various experiences with extractions under local (including one case where the whatevercain wore off during the extraction and they asked me if I wanted them to numb me again, and I said "just finish")seemed to confirm it. But when it comes bulging discs pressing on my nerve I am a total wimp - need tramadol to tolerate it. So apparently pain tolerance can vary with body part.

The status is NOT quo.
Oh, damn. Burrell, it's ok. It's ok to complain, it's ok to hurt, it's ok to be tired, it's ok to be conflicted, it's ok to be goddamned mad, it's just ok. OK?
What sarameg said. I'm so sorry you're going through this, Burrell. DO what you need to do, which definitely includes asking for some help at work.
