I cannot believe I made it this far without freaking out or panicking. Has it been easy? Hell No! Is it the worst thing I've ever gone thru? Hell …

About Me
Struggling everyday to keep my sanity. The last 4 years have been a nightmare with 15 MRI's, 7 steroid injections (neck and lowback)countless xrays and constantly getting tossed around from doctor to doctor. In the past 4 years I've had 5 surgeries. My neurosurgeon wants to do a disc replacement surgery on my neck due to the severe DDD I've got going on. I'd like to have a baby someday but at this point it's looking bleek. Luckily my husband is being supportive so thats a big help. I'm fortunate to have a sister that is going thru the same thing and completely understands how I feel mentally and physically. I'm at my wits end and hope there's a light at the end of the tunnel..

Hug
Hey, K. I don't know what happened, but I am sorry someone "called you out" and was so passive aggressive about it. (I hate those "oh someone was mean to me, and I'm gonna play martyr about it, until EVERYONE asks me what the problem is." UG. YOU don't deserve that kind of treatment.
As a proud self proclaimed "Bitch" I think more of us need to lay claim to this word. In fact, in a recent study, CURSING actually HELPS people in pain. Those who get their panties in a wad about such a minor thing.......I don't understand it. We're adults, sometimes we need to speak like ADULTS (at our worst) to get our feelings out.
Other "Adults" should understand. Or they can go an "play" on a heavily moderated, censored, child like board, where the Girls are separated from the Women.
Hugs,
P'Gell 
Sorry

Moment of Peace
