It's probably just this pain wearing me out, but I'm finding myself getting irritated and angry at certain threads and replies on the CP board. I try to keep up with newcomers so I can welcome them, properly.
The problem is...there are some that I don't feel very charitable toward. I find myself feeling suspicious of people with private profiles. Why don't they want to make friends? Are they old troublemakers coming back to cause more?
I'm trying to make it until after the Holidays before scheduling shoulder surgery, but it's all I can do to work with this amount of pain. My neck pain is out of control and the surgeon said my torn rotator cuff is causing some of that. What really scares me is that he also told me that my neck pain would be worse for a while, after the surgery! Worse? Really? I forgot to ask what 'for a while' meant.
Anyway...I'm easily irritated, right now. I'm finding it fairly stressful to hold back my comments when some of the new members seem to be....suspicious. I should try to avoid the main board, but I like to know what's going on!!!
I'm going to try very hard to let it roll....
Hugs,
Cherry

It was one particular thread that sort of sent me over the edge. I have zero tolerance for people who don't follow the rules of pain management while the rest of us fight for relief and have to pay for the way abusers behave....grrrr.
There...I'm done ranting. I WILL let it go so anger won't increase my pain. I have a ridiculously labor intensive day at work and I'm hurting plenty before it even begins.
Again...thank you all for being such wonderful, understanding friends. I am blessed!
Hugs and all that jazz,

I will always be kind as much as possible with my words on here, although in my short time here i have had my patience tested several times on here already. But I have learned that because i am a very well spoken individual my words have the potential to be so much more dangerous than most, and being in constant pain that is a weapon i choose to keep sheathed in order to keep from hurting others.
Can you tell I like to talk?........Kris.......
As for the main CP board, I've been irritated by alot of things and for a long time wouldn't post or even look at it. It was only yesterday that I looked in and answered a couple of posts. Maybe since my main irritant no longer has an account, I feel safer to go there now. I still prefure it here though.
The pain makes me irratable but I try to keep it in. I think I'm getting pretty good at letting things slide.
In someways I'm lucky some friends,Esp. George can tell and it's like go play a game or go to bed.LOL.You all have heard the I got up on the wrong side of the bed.LOL.I sometimes go back to bed to get up again on the right side of the bed.LOL.
