Feeling resentful and need to vent.

[LemonGinandBitters]

I had a workplace accident 19 years ago. I suffered a severe fractured arm and nerve damage. I was lucky because if the faulty piece of equipment had failed two minutes before it did, it'd have landed on my head and crushed me to death.

That said I've been left with chronic pain which sometimes results in me being completely unable to use my arm due to pain or weakness and even at its best it's still weak and limited.. I also have nerve damage in the other arm so I have two rubbish arms. Again though I'm lucky because they didn't know if I'd be able to move it again at all or my fingers, but thankfully after surgery and many months of physio, I can.

I know that I'm lucky compared to many but the pain can be so bad that I've considered amputation (not the answer I know) and I just realised today that I've lived for longer with a bad arm than with a good one and that this is as good as it's going to get. I'm having a bad day with it and feeling grumpy.

Can anyone else relate?

I'm feeling down today as well. Wanted to be in London for the jubilee.
Kids not listening and making a mess.
That's terrible, its so hard to deal with daily pain. I fell down the stairs acouple of months ago and bruised my cocyx/back/bum and it hurt to walk. Worst is when you forget then try to do something normally and get a surge of pain.
Having crappy arms doesn't define you, you're here and thats what matters.
Its sunny try and have a good weekend and eat some cake, sconces, ice cream 🙂

Also feeling down, no real rhyme or reason. Just fed up. So sympathy and solidarity. Your accident sucks, being in pain sucks. Give yourself a day as often as necessary to wallow in the unfairness and observe fully the extent to which it is sucky and unfair.

Then just get up dust yourself off as best you can and carry on doing the best you can.

I’m pissed off that even when I do something good or say something complimentary about a person my words/good deed get twisted into I was being a bitch!! Doesn’t figure. It’s totally bullshit and I can no longer be bothered explaining myself just to appease the other person by telling them what I did say/do

Thanks all. to all of you too. Jas5mum Poor you. That sounds so painful. I hope that you heal soon and that the kids calm down and that you have a lovely weekend in spite of your injury. Same goes to all of you. I hope that things get better for you.
