i believe we are tough spirits which is why the almighty send us down to this world to deal with all the pain and discomfort and worry and fear that the other team can dish out, and that we do it for the same reason people go to college or join the military or whatnot, to come out of it on the other side of life with more strength, than before. you are STRONG, kitty :cat: and can learn to bear up.

Kitty hope you are feeling better. You are very strong. I agree with Blabby, if you can get stronger pain relief that would help you get some rest. Sending much love to you. :heart:

My kitties in the past have always known when I was sad.

They’ve always helped me in their quiet way.

LOVELY

I used to be so full of self-pity I was laid in bed depressed because of the way I let people treat me.
My cat came to the doorway, she did not want to climb on the bed as she did not want to intrude.
I am shaming myself publicly as I deserve to.
inSTEAD of letting her onto the bed to comfort me, I thought she wanted something and slammed the door in her face and told her to F**k off, and I was too lazy to let her out the back like the animal charity advised to avoid the busy road on the front and she got killed.
I should have let her onto my bed to comfort me, she would have helped me.

So am I, I was out-of-line, this was self-pity, the cat showed love and I returned hate to her.
I deserve public shaming.

You made a mistake. The thing to do is learn from it.

Yes, they do.

But torturing yourself isn’t worth it.

All you can do is learn from it.

Hugs Kitty. Nothing beats pet cuddles... Hang in there. I was going to suggest you might want to up your Vitamin D intake, if you feel so down, it being winter, but you're in sunny California. Here in the UK we all need to take extra vitamin D as we can never get enough due to a lack of sunlight here. Pain is a pain alright. So sorry you're struggling to cope. Glad Bryan Adams and your kitty are helping a little. X



Sorry, I haven’t PM you. When I get very down, I might not want write. I have my good days & bad days. I’m taking vitamins B with C & D3, I bought a multivitamin & mineral at my vitamins store online, I don’t know about vitamins & how much to take.

Kitty, please consider [unless you have kidney and/or liver issues] to consider taking Advil and Tylenol together, that is an MD-approved combination and they sell the combination in pharmacies now.



Why take Advil & Tylenol together?

vitamin C [per Linus Pauling] is the most important of the vitamins, if you had to choose one. but so is a good multivitamin tailored to your gender and age. i take both in addition to D3. and if you take Advil and Tylenol together it is greater than the sum, IOW advil complements the action of tylenol, and vice-versa. together they are far stronger than separately. this has been my experience. so when you have intense pain, take both.

Why take Advil & Tylenol together?



They work on different mechanisms, one reduces the inflammation that causes the pain the other blocks pain signals. Together they have more of an effect than either on it's own.

Hey, Kitty, I’m so sorry you still hurt so much. I’ve had chronic pain for about 25 years now and I have certainly cried myself to sleep some nights from the pain and hopelessness of it. Pain, in addition to being painful, makes you tired, prevents you from sleeping, saps your energy and causes depression.

There are a lot of things that can help pain. But what I found is that so many of them don’t help much by themselves and I think each person has to find a combination that works for herself. This can take a very long time and can make one feel quite hopeless.

Incidentally, petting a cat is one of the things that can reduce pain, or at least the anxiety around pain which makes the pain worse.

I still can find myself in tears when one too many things breaks, or whatever.

On the practical side, if your walker is broken, whatever it is that California has for Medicaid/Medicare, may pay to fix it or replace it.

As others have pointed out, lots of us here have had terrible pain. You aren’t alone in that struggle. Just keep posting.
:heart: :heart: :heart:


You know how I feel, I’m having a hard time sleeping, I can get uncomfortable in bed with pain in my upper arms & my feet. Over two years ago, I broke my ankle & dislocated it too , it healed, but my bones didn’t healed right, I was walking on my other foot, I think I damaged that foot & lower leg (I have cerebral palsy) My walker can be fixed, I just need to put the knob on & twist it to screw it back on, but I don’t have enough energy to do it. I have less upper body strength.

Kitty, oft-times we have to go through life taking one laborious and calculated step at a time. for most of us, life ain't easy.
