Who wants some pain?

[ThomCat]

I have a bit too much today. I'm looking to give some away. So if you're having yet another wonderful, perfect day and you're tired of perfection I am willing to be generous so you to can experience a little bit of misery.
x(

You can take your choice of what pain you want.

1. The migraine that won't fully go away.
2. The swollen knee that I can't put pressure on.
3. The lower back muscle spasms
4. The arm muscle cramps from walking on crutches while dealing with 2 and 3.
5. The existential pain of having no working computer for the past week, and no access to my files, writing, and games that I keep on that computer.

Offer voice where prohibited. certain terms and conditions may apply. :silly:

[ohiosmith]

1. I'll take a pass man. Hope you get better soon.

[ThomCat]

2. I've accepted that today is going to be horrible.

I'm holding on to hope for tomorrow. Tomorrow will be a good day. :)

Thank you.

[speedoo]

3. I'm sorry Thom.

I do know what lower back pain is all about. Fortunately I have not had any in quite a while.

Are you getting your computer fixed? I know some guys here in Brooklyn I can recommend.:hi:

[ThomCat]

4. I'm going to buy a new one.

Though I'm going to reuse some of the components from the old one.

The motherboard is shot, the design of that computer sucked from day one and it was prone to overheating. So I think I'm better off in the long run just replacing it.

Though I would like to know someone good to turn to for upgrades and maintenance. :)

[speedoo]

11. The guys I know are in Bay Ridge.

They are from China and they are very good, but I'm sure Bay Ridge is inconvenient for you. There are probably some good shops in SI as well, I'd be happy to help you look for them.

[miss_american_pie]

5. I'm sorry, Thom

:hug:

I could handle the migraine if you find a way to send it here. :hug:

[ThomCat]

6. You are wonderful!

One down. Four more to go. :silly:

Wouldn't it be nice if pain really could be sent like that, and could get lost in transit? :)

[miss_american_pie]

7. Or re-routed to republican congressmen

:D

I hope tomorrow is a better day.

[jus_the_facts]

8. I can offer you these to cheer you up....

....Brutus and I say we hope you feel better soon!! :hug:

[ThomCat]

9. Please give Brutus a hug for me

and tell him that he's very good and cheering me up. :)

[jus_the_facts]

14. I did.....and he told me to show you these....

....he's so vain with his feather toy...makes me laugh hysterically when he jumps 4 feet in the air to catch it...his most favorite game to play!! :D :pals:

[ThomCat]

16. That Awesome! My cats don't get nearly that excited

They're turning into wonderful pillows. :7

[jus_the_facts]

18. LOL...my little girl loves to get on my head to sleep....

...she had to be the runt of that litter as she's still so little compaired to him...poor babies were left to fend for themselves in the bushes...can't believe somebody would be so cruel as to throw 'em away like that...he's the talkin'est cat I've ever seen too...and he fetches like a dog and growls when strangers come up to my door..and he'll eat just about anything...loves green beans right outta the can! :crazy:

You take care of yourself! :)

[BarenakedLady]

10. I would if I could.

I hope you feel better soon.

:hug:

[tjwmason]

12. Would that I could.

But I fear all I can offer is :hug:

[LeftyMom]

13. If I could, I would.

YOu deserve a day free of pain. :hug:

[ThomCat]

19. I don't know if I deserve one, but I'd certainly Like one.

:hug:

The universe doesn't seem to understand "should," "deserve," or the like. :shrug:

[wildhorses]

15. I am so sorry my sweet ThomCat...

do you have any flexaril and vicodin?

I wish there was something I could do:hug:

[ThomCat]

17. I already took a stronger pain killer.

I unfortunately outgrew vicodin and similar painkillers 2 years ago.

Right now I'm trying to balance how numb I need to be with how high I don't want to be. So I'm only a little numb and only a little high. :)

:hug: Hugs are wonderful medication. They don't help much with the pain, but they definitely help with any depression that might come with the pain. I'm trying not to get down today.

[wildhorses]

20. okay then ....you asked for it...

:hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug:

NO DEPRESSION for you today...

[ThomCat]

23. Wow. I certainly did.

:)

[Dangerously Amused]

21. Oh sweetie, I would take it all from you if I could.

The only thing I can think of over the distance is to refocus your attention on something which will permeate your consciousness, for example, The Llama Song.


But that would probably make things worse.


:(



So here's a hug. It's the biggest and best one I have:

[ThomCat]

22. That's a beautiful, wonderful hug.

Thank you very much. :hug:

[Phillycat]

24. I'll take some of it

I am in a good place and if I could shoulder some of your burden, I would. Feel better soon. :hug:

[ThomCat]

27. That's awesome. I'm hoping to be in a good place

too, Soon. :hug:

I hate having to rely on meds, but I'm fortunate. They're mostly working for me, and I have good doctors backing me up. Once the worst passes, things should get back to an even keel. :)

[LaraMN]

25. Ah, hon!

I'd take some, if I could. My day's not looking like it's going to be worth having gotten out of bed for.

[ThomCat]

29. I definitely won't give you any pain

if you're already having a bad day. :(

I hope you get some sunshine and good stuff happening. :hug:

[cwydro]

26. ok, I'll take number 5

if you would like to trade: I have wicked menstrual cramps. So hows bout it?!}(

[ThomCat]

30. I'd trade you the cramps for the migraine.

:P

I'm already dealing with cramps from the muscle spasms.

[cwydro]

34. darn!

and I was gonna throw in hot flashes for free too! But I HATE headaches even worse.

So here's hoping you feel better soon. If it makes you feel any better, my day sucks in a complete and meticulously detailed way....I prescribe strong drink as soon as humanly possible:P

[ThomCat]

The IT tech manager came by

and proscribed Vodka in large amounts. He's bringing it over in a few. Come on over and join us! :7

I've had hot flashes regularly since I was 22 as a side effect of other medical stuff. Not fun at all but I'll happily take those from you. Compared to everything else, I can handle hot flashes no problem.

[cwydro]

40. lemme see

if I can get off work:toast:

[ThomCat]

35. Dupe. Delete.

:)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

28. I'll take some for you.

Sorry to hear that, Thom. Hope you feel better soon. :hug:

[ThomCat]

32. Wow. Cute, and generous too.

:P

:hug:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

39. LMAO!

:hi:

[NewWaveChick1981]

31. I'll take some for you, TC...

:hug: I have a pretty high pain threshold, so I can handle it. :)

[ThomCat]

33. You're awesome!

:hug:

I took another dose of painkiller and another migraine pill, so I'm a bit wonky. Everything is fading except the muscle spasms and part of the migraine. I'm going to get through this day somehow.

[NewWaveChick1981]

46. You will.

:hug: :pals: :)

[idgiehkt]

36. existential pain!!!

:woohoo:

it's the best; it's limitless, complicated, and fascinating. Sign me up!

[ThomCat]

37. Wow! You're a glutton for punishment.

:)

:hug:

[idgiehkt]

38. *cough*

the word is "masochist". :)

[SteppingRazor]

41. I'll take numbers 2-4...

if you can guarantee me a prescription for some heavy-duty painkillers :silly:

[ThomCat]

42. I'll introduce you to my pain-management doc.

He's a kick-ass surgeon, and he knows the meds and treatments better than anyone else I've ever spoken to. He'll definitely hook you up. :P

[kitkatrose]

43. Aww, I'm so sorry. You don't deserve any of this.

:hug: I'll take the migrane since I deal with those quite a bit. Hell, give me #3 since it'll fit nicely with the exercise pains I have. Hope you feel better soon. :)

[ThomCat]

44. Wow. I want pain tollerance like yours.

:hug:

[u4ic]

45. Ah, hon

:hug: :hug: :hug:

I really do empathise, from one who used to have such excruciating pain that she couldn't walk for a couple of years, and thought she'd end up in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. (the Goddesses smiled upon me and the pain went into remission)

Considering where I've been, I can take some. Probably a lot.

[ThomCat]

47. I hope your pain doesn't ever come back.

You have one of the good stories. It's good to hear those. :hug:

[Xipe Totec]

48. What kind of pain?

Pain français?

[ThomCat]

50. I wish. :)

[reyd reid reed]

49. I'd take it from you if I could

As it is, all I can do is...

:hug::hug::hug:

I'm sorry.

:hug:

[ThomCat]

51. Hugs are good. They work wonders.

:hug:
