It's easy to be self righteous, when you have not lived that person's life. Francesca, you came down on me for not being "mature" enough for your liking during some of my admitted weak points, but I think we could all use a chill pill here and try to undrstand what horrors these oeople are enduring. If you think Stewart is taking too many drugs, you should see the flight bag of s**t that I carry. At least it keeps me out of the emergency rooms. I PASS OUT from the pain! My message here is lighten up: what we all need here is support. The good Dr.s will help us through our dependancy when this is all over (I hope), and all will be well. Be patient, be understanding, and be there for that little bit of encouragement we may need in the middle of the night. My Dr. has said that there are pain tolerance threshholds, the same as the 1 to 10 scale we always talk about. He sys it's very real, and cannot be discounted, and that is why I am on so many meds. Mine is at like a 0. I've always been a "tough guy" and performed under fire, but it just isn,t the same. If I could give advice on this board to just "buck up and take it", maybe I would but I know better. Peace, and ponder that for a little before you get too pi**ed at me. OOO's & XXX's, Tweak.
