OT: This Is It, Wish Me Luck!

[TheRobotDevil]

I'm on meds for depression and anxiety, although hasn't been bad lately. There were times when my whole body would tremble for no reason just sitting here. I'm still in therapy, and though it's been going well, sometimes I can't talk about my problem even though I trust my therapist. It's just the way I am. Some things I just keep bottled up. I feel the same way as you about our SportsHoopla family here. You're all the best, classiest people I've ever met and consider it a privilege that I was invited to be a member.

believe me were very similar and i understand why you dont like talking about it probably the same reasons i dont.the four days i couldnt sleep were my breaking point and you guys all helped me through that without realizing you were and im very appreciative for that

I will say I was put in the psych ward twice within a month or so. It's been a long, long road since then.

Keep your chin up IPW...

Oh shit. IN light of your procedure that was a poor choice of words.

To hell with it!! I'm leaving it; you're the kind of guy who'd appreciate that kind of misstype.

Seriously though, get well soon. The worst is behind you. All that lies in front of you know is celebrity sex tape and a slew of models.

All the best man!!

Good LORD! This is a heavy thread...

IPW, glad all seems to be going fairly well. You'll be out and grazing in the pasture eventually, just might take some time. But you will.

You take care Aaron and you have my number so anytime you want to chat is fine with me.

Be good and safe bro.

Oh wow... I thought I read that you were having surgery on an ankle - must have been a horse joke or something.

Regardless, feel better soon. Had a friend back in the day that had a severe under-bite that caused TMJ. He had severe headaches from grinding his teeth when he slept - sounds similar to what you were going through. He had surgery on his lower jaw - I think they removed part of his jaw on both sides. Anyway... His face was pretty swollen for a week or so. Once his jaw healed, he had braces put on. The TMJ, headaches, etc. all went away.

Hope you feel better soon.

Oh OK, good. Very glad to hear that.

The past few days have not been all that great. Because my pain medication was spilled out on the floor, I ran out 3 days ago now. The pain has been unbearable to say the least. My swelling has gone up on the left side of my face, and the yellow bruising is becoming noticeable again.

Sleep is hard to come by. I think I get a total of around 4 hours for a day, with about 80% of that at one time. I have become angry and irritable, and I am fighting with the wife at every turn.

At this point right now, I wish I never went through with it at all.

Take care everyone.

Really sorry to hear that buddy. I'm sorry to hear you're in so much pain and you're face has swollen again. Just try your best to stay positive and know things will get better. We're all wishing you the best here and are here if you need to talk to someone. I know mentally it's as hard as the physical aspect, but try to stay positive as best you can. Best wishes. Wayne

Call the Dr for more pain med.

Sounds like you need rest and the pain meds will help.

Got back from the Hospital over an hour ago, and the Dr said things are healing quite nicely. He removed all the bands on my braces, and I thought the top part of my head was going to snap right off from the bottom.

He put on less bands this time to give me a bit more movement with my jaws, and I told him I REALLY NEED PAIN MEDS!!!!!

He thought I was crazy to wait it out for 3 days instead of calling, but I can only fill it out in Rochester, and I didn't want to spend all that gas money going out there twice in 3 days.

Here's hoping it gets better day by day, but the pain meds are my best friend for sure right now.
