I think people think that since I did find an answer and did get a &#8220;cure&#8221; that I should just shut up and be happy. I&#8217;m having a hard time doing that. I am so far less than what I should be. I am suffering and miserable. I&#8217;m watching the train wreck that is my life.<\/p>\n<p>So much that needs to be done, and I can&#8217;t do it. I can&#8217;t even do the very basics. I have to get a lot of help, just to get through each day. My house is a wreck. I&#8217;m embarrassingly behind on any financial recording\/filing etc. I have a hard time thinking and planning. My brain just doesn&#8217;t work like it should. And what works is preoccupied with discomfort and pain.<\/p>\n<p>But I shouldn&#8217;t complain because I&#8217;m alive, I have the help (although they are also worn and weary) and I have at least a better prognosis than my current condition. So I need to just suck it up and deal. I guess I&#8217;ve done so much sucking up and dealing for the past 12 years, I&#8217;m just all sucked out.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not that I&#8217;m not grateful. I&#8217;m extremely grateful for the medical help I finally got, for the family that has kept me alive and for God that provides for me again and again. I have a hard time showing and expressing my gratitude because I am having a hard time right now showing or expressing anything. Ever since my surgery it has all felt like an extended out of body experience. I don&#8217;t know myself anymore. I&#8217;m experiencing feelings and physical pain and limitations I&#8217;ve never known before. I&#8217;ve had to relearn how to do almost everything.<\/p>\n<p>I sincerely hope I will get better than I am right now. I really don&#8217;t know how I would cope in this state of being for years. Just months is enough to make me want to request a medically induced coma until I&#8217;m through this stage.<\/p>\n<p>I know, I shouldn&#8217;t complain. How about I strike a deal. Anyone who thinks I shouldn&#8217;t complain can do a day long shift in my body. I&#8217;d love a break from it anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is it wrong for me to complain?
