Frustrated.

Hi friends. I was planning this big post that would explain the process of my surgery and stuff, but right now I just want to vent and get it off my chest so it doesn't bother me as much anymore.

I'm going crazy over here. I'm still in pain, yes, even 4 days after my surgery. I'm getting people (even complete strangers) telling me "well, there must be something wrong because I was up and walking in 3 days and I felt fine." Or, "You should feel better tomorrow then."

I can't freaking win. I'm either healing too slow, or when I try to push myself and go out and resume life as usual, I'm pushing too hard. Perhaps people don't understand that RSD is directly related to all of this. I already have nerves that are shot, and this is precisely the reason that most surgeons will not operate on someone with RSD unless there's a damn good reason.

I just want people to leave me the hell alone. I'm healing. It's slow, but I'm doing slightly better each day. Let me celebrate that and enjoy it without telling me how your mother's aunt's cousin's sister's neighbor felt after she had surgery. I'll be fine. Just stop making me feel bad about my progress, or lack thereof.

I apologize. I'm cranky. I'm in pain, and I'm bored and I'm pissy right now. That'll get better too.

Okay, I'm going to go lay down and try to sleep some of this off. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have this excellent post about the opening of the new Star Tours ride at DHS.
