Honey you vent whenever you need to. And hey, I'm on the computer quite often that time of the morning.
I too hate hearing others much worse off, even if there are. I try to remind myself sometimes that I have been in much worse shape when I was a kid. My father-in-law died of cancer so I know he was worse off, but just remember, even though there are those in some ways worse off that doesn't mean our pains don't count. We count, our pain counts, our needs count. No matter what about anyone else's health.
If you want it I'll give you my yahoo messanger or e mail for when you're up so early.
I kinda understand about the scooter. I hate it when I need one at the store. I feel like I'm giving in to it all and I have 2 friends telling me I should get my own. I have a friend that has had both her knees replaced twice and so has to use one, I hate how some people look at her in the store, I want to go up and just slap them. She's a bit overweight and I can see the little wheels turning in their little minds. When I get looked at like that I want to run over them with the scooter. Can you imagine a hit and run on aisle 5 in Wal-Mart?
Sometimes just the thought helps.
Remeber that no matter what about anyone else, you matter and your pain is important. You might tell people who talk about others being worse, that to them they probably are and in some ways maybe but that doesn't detract from your problems.
