...and the rest of you can forget it. I'll explain:

I posted my last mea culpa after my last spine operation (pain can make you crabby). Some of you have been where I am, some have not, and still others probably couldn't care less. Well, I thought I was doing okay but a little over a year ago I started having trouble again, and for a while there it was pretty bad.

I was just reading a thread that apparently is pretty old and I saw what I had posted in it, and I couldn't believe it was me, but believe me when I tell you that when you deal with physical pain every day people who whine about trivial matters that have nothing to do with them becomes a little difficult to take.

That said, if you are going to reply to this and call me a liar, go pound salt.

If you are going to mock me, go pound salt.

If you are going to say something idiotic like "you deserve it because you are a Trump supporter and a white supremacist", you can really go pound salt.

For the rest of you, sorry for my bad manners, I haven't quite been myself.
 
I can relate...pain can change a person's demeanor...I hope you're feeling better now...
 
We all have had a bad day for one reason or another and we have all been there.

Glad to see you man up.

Takes a pretty big man to admit that he was not at his best at the time, and apologize for it.

Wishing you a speedy recovery and a minimization for your discomfort both now and going forward.

Hope U R felling better.

I see you brought up Trump in your post; he must be in a lot of pain because he is really crabby, all of the time.

No worries. We all post off the hook comments sometimes. The better folks admit it. The bad ones just continue posting crap and refuse to learn.

Earlier this year I bought a new bed, and that helped, at least I can spend most of the night in bed, for a while I had to sleep in a reclining chair, but as they say, it is what it is (and it always will be).

I think he's just a wise azz, not that I'm not, but that's another story.

Not at all, some days we don't know how we sound to other people, and I am the king of social awkwardness.

I try never to be personally offended by anything anyone posts here and can't imagine, in the political climate in the US these days, that anyone would take any political commentary so personally that an apology would be expected or necessary. That said, I hope you're feeling better, that the future holds better days, and that any discomfort you felt the need to apologize for has been eased and eliminated by your thread post. All the best ahead!!

Actually, I thought I was "cured" but I have come to realize that although my surgeries were successful, it only means I am better, but not cured. They can't make you better than you were. But thanks for the well wishes.

I have no idea what you’re talking about other than your extreme pain caused you to have an out of body experience or two. Pain can do that. And only those who’ve been there can truly understand. This is such a nice post. I hope YOU feel better and hope this post brings you some comfort and joy. I’m betting that, although most of us haven’t (yet) walked in your shoes, most all of us can understand.

Cheers, Punkin.
 
A favorite of mine. If I read it or hear it it always makes me feel better. Hope it does the same for you!

I hope that your health issue is doing better. Pain sucks, and the pain meds can effect your behavior as badly as the pain can.

It is, actually, these episodes can stretch out for months (which this one has) but I think I am on the back side of it, although I do get twinges from the metal implants during periods of bad weather, I think. I mean, sometimes weather has an effect, sometimes not.

I really have to be careful with the medicines, I'll end up asleep at the switch if I am on the job, and babbling incoherently at other times.

For as long as I have been dealing with this you would think I'd know that spinal problems almost always get better with time, it's just a matter of how much time. My job isn't all that strenuous, I really feel for people who really have to tote barges and lift bales for a living.

I don't think I've seen the thread you are referring to, but I totally get how pain can make you crabby and not yourself! I hope you are doing better now.
