There is nothing I can do about any of it right now, am in a bad frame of mind and at this point don't even want to talk about any of it. I am so tired of taking a step forward and being kicked back 10 due to circumstances beyond my control. I am just plain ld sick and tired, angry, frustrated and about ready to throw in the towel and just sit and give up. I need instant gratification right now. Never have in my life but I do right now. and there is no chance of it. I could call the therapist and start seeing her again BUT it will take me a month to get an appt. I have driven once and it was horrible and scary. So that won't work. There are no meds I can take to kill the pain in mind or body. Tired of fighting it all. Thanks for posting. At least I got it out.

Dear Grasshopper:
I am glad that you "posted it out."
Of course you are angry and upset and in saying that I believe you are being mild in your approach.
You took one step forward (having the surgery performed) and therapeutic measures have taken you back.
Remember that a month is a short amount of time (in actuality;even though it may
seem that the days drag on).
Wanna hear something ironic?
My next orthopaedic surgeon appontment is on the same day that the accident occurred.
I saw my therapist yesterday and pretty much told her the same things as you stated here.
Told her that I was ready to give up on all of this.
At times, it feels like i am hanging on a thread.
It is then that I remembered that I have a beautiful daughter and an extended family here.
Though I am in pain, I have to remember that I can breathe, wiggle my fingers and other things which I tend to take for granted.
"Getting it out" does not always provide the relief one seeks; there are times when the opposite occurs (personal history).
If I can hang in there, so can you; so can all of us.
Let's all "hang in there together."
