Hey been off on holidays and haven't logged on for a few weeks.
Odb you are on the money with the lot, including lower pain tolerance for pain other than the chronic stuff.
I need to find some new hobbies/interests, even the stuff I can still do that I did prior to my accident I struggle to enjoy because it is harder to do and I can't do it as well as I used to which just causes more frustration.
Things are the best they have been in the last three years in nearly every aspect yet I'm struggling more than ever mentally. I guess that is because I'm closer to being the best I will be which means I have to deal with the reality of my situation, where the last three years had been constant surgeries and healing time.
It sucks that I don't get any real recreational value from my pain medication, I now need to try and taper down as low as I can while still managing the pain. The hardest part is my pain levels vary greatly with my levels of activity but hopefully that will improve still as I get stronger.
It is great to know that there are people on here who probably understand my situation better than me, no one else in my life including my wife really knows what is really going on with me. My wife knows a lot of what is going on mentally and my prescibed pain relief but that is all pain med wise, she is very anti drugs and has freaked out a couple of times even though it is all prescibed.
I hope everyone is going well and keeping safe, thankyou all again for the great advice.
