    ARRRRGGGHHHH!!! Being down sux!!!!

    I am so fed up with being injured and unable to do all that I want for myself. Being dependant on other people to do everything wears thin as hell after about 7 weeks. Not to say I don't appreciate them, but dang I am ready for some alone time.

    My wife has made it her job to act like she is my boss/mother/decision maker, and its driving me ape ****!!!! In spite of being screwed up I do still feel like I have a measure of authority in this household. Apparently according to her POV I gave all that up when I had my accident.

    I know things will get better, and be better. The Lord has a plan for me, and I am going to listen. Sometimes there are moments like this and I have to RANT!!!!!!

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

    Tell that woman to get back in the kitchen and make you a sammich.

    You're still the same person you were before the accident, just recovering. Be cool man, you're alive, you still have your family, and besides, we all know the females have funny ways of dealing with stress.....

      I'm sure the wait will be worth it when you're healthy and able to do fun stuff again.

            complete joke, i in no way condone violence ever!

            what do you tell to a woman with 2 black eyes?
            nothing, you already told her twice.


            but punkncat, i know how you kind of feel. when i wasn't supposed to walk for 3 weeks everyone was doing that to me also, after a week i said screw that and was up doing whatever. then again your accident is way way worse than mine. but instead use the anger/frustration as a focus point to getting better and being self sufficient again. i hope you heal fast dude.

                i will miss having my balls once one of our female members looks at that


                but seriously, if you have 360, pick up halo 3, or if you have a computer nearby, get the Orange box from steam.com (team fortress 2).

                not only will it keep you occupied, but your ability to ignore anything or anyone around you will increase ten-fold

                    And forget the Reballs. To a squirrel, a paintball is a Howitzer round. Did you know that they will whistle as they fall if you hit one?

                    And, seriously, focus that anger and frustration into therapy. Set little goals every day and build on them. Soon, when it is time to use the back of the hand, she wont be able to get away from you
                    WOW, sigs. Havent seen these in a while here on AO.

                        Ya what he said. Its ok to Rant, just dont let it turn to wine.

                        Give us a status update. I know the leg part. Heal first you must. Whats the rest of the condition. Hows your pain factor, hows the arm, Meds, etc, etc.... Have you started therapy?
                        Meds work but you need them less then you think you do so get off them asap.

                        Also when you are ready can you tell us what happened? I ride and saw two friends go down and one almost took me with him.

                        Oh ya what ever you can move, move it. Learn isometrics. Work the abs if you can. Work them till they hurt. Work them till they make you forget the other pain. Start learning how to flex anything you can. Atrophy sucks so dont let it get ya if you can help it. Try to flex it at least if you can.

                        Dont forget it is hard on the people around you to. Love them, hug them, thank them. You can swallow some pride for now, you have enough you wont run out. Been there done that.

                        Peace Out

                          Beemer has a lot of it right. Also remember, it does get better. Maby not as quick as you would like, but it does get better.
