I am in a doctors office waiting to get a steroid shot in my shoulder. My left shoulder is badly destroyed and almost useless. I can not even open a twist top with it. It is in pain all the time. But I don’t want to pay the costs of surgery yet. Everyone have a good day. Hugs. Scottie

Hi Ali. The shot is but is also painful for a few days. You can not lay on that side at all. But worse the side effect is steroids make a person very hungry even after they have eaten. I have done a great job of losing weight and I am down to 176 pounds and every time I have these shots I have to fight wanting to eat everything in the house every few hours. Plus even though they help me with my pain, they also make some of my major health issues worse such as my thinning bones. My providers have to gauge my pain relief which I crave against the damage it does to my body. Because I get so many steroids shots I now have to take testosterone. I am lucky to have great providers and in their judgment I have to have the steroids two months in a row. It is going to be hard on me. But the pain relief it provides is so welcome and it is the only thing keeping me from going to higher drugs like fentanyl. That scares the crap out of me.
Sorry Ali. As you must suspect I am dealing with my body pain but right now I am suffering mentally / emotionally with my memories. I was so surprised that when I wrote my recent abuse only two people noticed. I realize I am only one person in a world of hurt … but the little boy in side me which is raw right now would have liked more adults to come to his defense. Oh well. I am an adult now. I figure the post got lost in the many post on the blog. The adult in me can accept that and doesn’t need validation, the abused kid in me which again is very raw right now. I wish I knew how to dull that pain of these memories but I don’t. They tear at me, they wrench me around at the worst times. Hugs. Scottie

Likely your post got more eyes than can be seen from stats, etc. I know it’s difficult to click “Like” on such a post, and probably readers who don’t often comment are shy to say much after reading those posts. It is difficult for all of us who care about you, to read those. But we know they’re therapeutic for you to write and publish. Sometimes I comment on them, sometimes if I have nothing to say I do click Like.
But I don’t like it! But I want you to know I saw it.
You’re up late. Is all well? I’m dragging from my shots, but trying to stay on till my usual time so I’m not too behind tomorrow. And stuff. So, you’re up late!

Hi Ali. Thank you. I have not slept in two days and only 3 hours before that. I can hardly stand up, but when I lay down I can not sleep. My muscles are in spasms and ache horribly. When Ron gets home from shopping I will go to bed for a while. Hugs. Scottie
