Dear all,

I don't know if it is the seasonal change or what but I feel drained as of late.

I am wondering if it has anthing to do with the depression flaring up.

Has anyone else felt "out of sorts" as of late?

I am just trying to make sense of it all........

Thanks PTSD

Take care
God Bless

Good morning Ryan,
it's probably a combo of all that's going on with you. I personally don't like the heat so the weather change is on my last nerve. Don't get me wrong I don't like slushy, ice cold weather either but it's bee really hot hear. i am usually off all summer and it's getting me down that I can't enjoy what I would normally enjoy. In your case I think it's just everything. A little depression starting creeping in my mind for the past couple of weeks because of all the unanswered questions I have with my shoulder, the pain and this big swelling I have right above my collar bone. I figure there' no point in it getting me too down, it is what it is.

Sometimes when the waters settle and we are left with ourselves it's somewhat depressing as we feel alone in our journey for recovery and survival. Do you think this is what's happening with you? You came out of the dark and all hit the fan.????

Always,
Grasshopper

Dear Grasshopper:

You're probably right.

The temperature here fluctuates so much.

The next three days will be in the 90's and then the low 70's.

Depression rearing its' ugly head huh? We've got to get you off of this road.

Let me get this right: Your shoulder hurts like all get out and they said you may not achieved sufficient relief for up to 8 months or so?

Is the swelling directly over the site that was operated upon?

Did doc rule out the lymph nodes swelling?

Waters have settled and hitting the fan is pretty close to accurate.

I'm just tired and in pain; not a nice combination.

A quick joke:

Woman goes to the doctors office and says:

"Doc, I don't like this cane."

Doc says:

This cane of yours is top of the line, only a handful of people in the world have this particular one.

Woman replies: but it's so darn hard to peel !

Alright.....i'm trying.

Take care
God Bless

Hi Ryan and ICC,

Sorry to hear that you both are feeling down- depression is such a pain in the you-know-what. It's camped at my door these days, too. I just want you guys to know that I love how you help each other. You're both feeling badly, but you encourage and help one another. I think it's great. Just wanted you both to know...
