I could do without this

[frualeydis]

Yesterday I talked with some colleagues about another colleague and I said that I felt so sorry for her since she's unemployed, which isn't unusual in our business, but also is easily depressed. Then one of them said to me something in the line of: "Yeah, like arthritis isn't a hard", reminding me that isn't that easy for me either. I answered that I'd rather walk with crutches every day than be clinically depressed most of my life. I guess my body decided to show me how bad it can be: I have hard slept at all this night, despite taking two nobligan (2 x 50 mg tramadol, maximum dose) the pain in my arm and in my ribcage didn't ease. And as usual it kept me awake by itself too.
The only good thing I can say about this night is that the first part of "not-sleeping" was nice, since I crawled over to hubby's side for a while.

Now I'm trying to get the big girls to school (easy) and the little girl to preschool (more work).

I'm glad you have the ability to stay cheerful, considering what you have to deal with. Not that health isn't important, but if one can stay cheerful, I suppose one would be able to handle some pretty awful things. Whereas if you are depressed or unhappy, the smallest things can drag you down and break your spirit. I think I'd rather be happy than physically well, too, if I had the choice. But that's very easy for me to say, when I don't have the kind of pain you do.

Well, I happen to think that you're right, since I have so many firends who are depressed.

Yep. I'm with you there. I'd take crutches over clinical depression too. (Knock on wood it doesn't come to that.)

Hang in there.
