I hope ... [More:]kmellis is feeling better today.
Just wanted to say hi, been thinking about you today, as I expect other bunnies have been too.

Me too. kmellis, I wanted to comment in your thread, but by the time I got around to it today, wedge had commented and I didn't know if you'd be reading any more comments.

Admitting you're in pain isn't self pity. Asking for help (of any kind) isn't attention-seeking. Think about it as if a friend of yours were in your position. Wouldn't you be happy to pick up his/her meds? Wouldn't you be happy to listen to her vent on the days where things felt like shit? Wouldn't you be there for him?

Yep. Now take care of yourself. And *let others help you do that*!

Yeah, kmellis, I ran into your thread late, but I hope things are going a little better for you.

I helped my mother through chronic pain when I was a kid (probably the only reason I'm not a complete asshole today) and I know how frustrating it is. Chin up, bro. There's nothing I can do to help, but if there was, I would do it.

Take care, kmellis. Here's to a better tomorrow.

Yeah. That was an honest account of a difficult day, and it made me feel for kmellis. I'm sending ibes.

Aw. Thanks so much. I just now saw this thread. I feel better today—partly, I bet, from all that mecha positive juju. But now I'm embarrassed. :)

Glad you checked in and that you're feeling better. (And don't be embarassed. Rallying is one of the things the bunnies do best.)

I also caught up late with kmellis' post, and let me offer him my empathy, sympathy and psychopathy :)

First, I am so agreed with you about Costco: great place to get prescriptions but why do they make sick people walk a quarter mile to get to it?

Personally, it was such a weight off my life when I qualified for Social Security Disability; the bad news was the Medicare benefit didn't kick in until after a year; when it does, go with the Blue Shield Medicare HMO - I know "HMO" sounds scary, but hey, so does "Medicare", and it's the best way I've found to get something good out of the crappy Medicare prescription program...

I also know how it is to reach the point where you don't know if you can handle it all on your own anymore, and it sucks, but using your support systems can actually make you stronger. (And that's the advice of one who has screwed up both ways: NOT leaning on others and leaning on others too much)

I respect you, man, and I'm so glad you're around the MetaVerse to help me look less long-winded by comparison ;) the smiley means I'm kidding

In the words of Norbert A. Beaver: "BIG HUG!"
