I feel that I owe a few members an apology........

and an explanation for my erratic behavior.

About 6 weeks ago, I had to have major surgery, and it was the first time that I had ever been admitted to a hospital in my 62 years. I'm now taking several different medications which I will probably have to take for the rest of my life, and I hate pills!

As a result, I've had erratic mood swings, lapses in my normal thought processes and forgetfulness as well. So, if I have offended any of the good people here, please accept my sincerest apology.

Hey, just feel better...

I hate meds also.

 

Unfortunately you're at the age where surgery becomes the norm.

It could be worse. You could have to inject yourself every day for the rest of your life. You're lucky it's only pills.

 

I am not sure just what you are apologizing for, but if I am included, I accept.

Your experience almost sounds like mine except mine surgery was almost exactly 1 year ago. Maybe your pill would be a little more tolerable if you thought of them as keeping you from more surgeries.

 

that totally expected with what happened. i too will be on multiple meds all my life. also am dreading the day, when i have to get parts of my large intestine removed. being only 22, it sucks to think about. and i get grumpy on days with flare ups.

so i totally understand...

 

Chris, from a personal experience, I never consider any forum to be more than information and entertainment. Nothing said is taken on a personal level at all and nothing I say should be taken as against an individual either. I have been on a pain management program for several years now and understand that nothing is quite "real". LOL

No one likes the meds, but sometimes they are way better than the alternative. Personally, without them, I would have ended it years ago. Some things go beyond our ability to control no matter how strong we are.

Rest assured, that I have never taken any offense and hopefully am forgiven for any I have made.

we know.

 

At least you have an excuse for your erratic behavior. I don't have an excuse for mine.

 

So that's what that medication you are taking is for - it just comes naturally to me(according to those I work with).:mouth:

 

Oops! I forgot to add the disclaimer..............

Anyone except Doug!

 

Clearly you have seniority. I humbly bow to the master. :hail:

 

Here are others that might come in handy for you.

It called being human. It happens to the best. I am not going through what you are going through and I not on any pills (yet) but I have had bad days in the past at work and elsewhere but I try not to let that get to me when I post on a forum. If I had a bad day or if I am not in a great mood, then I do not post on any forum.

I am not a regular poster on this forum so I may not relate exactly to having a bad day on the CT forum.

 

Just feel better buddy, no matter what harsh words are said we'll still be friends at the end of the day

 

No worries!
