Melting Pot's Surgery Support Thread

RUDE BOY said:

@Melting Pot sounds like What some of my family thinks of my herb use mirrors yours. I have a sister who's married to a pharmacist get on my case all the time talkin' like I was better off with a morphine pump running 24/7 supplemented with handfuls of morphine sulfate and methadone along with a shoebox of other meds daily(all replaced with MMJ) ... The only reply I can muster anymore is a simple "FUCK YOU" and then remove myself from their presence to vape a little in-order to preserve MY piece of mind.

That's what Works for me.

What pisses me off is they hold such strong values for something they don't understand or know anything about just makes their ignorance shine that much more. Imo

If I can add something constructive, hoping it relates and can help your familly problems. Ask them to talk about themsleves, use the "I" instead of the "you". Just the 1st person. Without a "you should, you would be better, you etc", its harder for them to be patronising, or use another form of annoying speach.

I know its hard with all the meds, but keep in mind a FEW are annoying OUT OF PURE LOVE, reacting akwardly in the best they can for you. But others are simply reinforcing their own point of view, thinking how great they are giving out advice to someone "in need", FEEDING THEIR EGO, being selfish WITHOUT KNOWING IT.

Only you can tell for sure but..... if she is upsetting you about your use because:
- Your surgery scared the crap out of her because she loves you then try and ignore it and have another hit.
- She doesn't understand enough about the topic or understand that the discussion is upsetting you at the exact wrong time.... post it in the Fuck You thread, then ignore it and have another hit.

That'll teach em!

Awesome, sounds like the feistiness is coming back

It also sounds like you are taking great care of yourself these days. I agree that whatever problems the folks around you have is more about them than you.
Keep up the good work and stay strong, we're all cheering for ya!

It is frustrating when people speak from opinion and ignorance; rather than from education and enlightenment!

it is very frustrating especially if they are preaching their beliefs like they are fact. Bet they don't mind or even think about alcohol or prescriptions. Keep your head up you know whats best for you. I can assure you lots of us are dealing with similar situations. It's funny how we can all relate over the depressing aspects of things. Try to listen to smart people on youtube vids or podcasts to keep yourself positive/entertained. I got a couple that I'm planning on watching that I don't mind sharing.

Keep on Keepin' on @Melting Pot !! Don't let em get you down.

I hope You are feeling better today!

@Melting Pot
How goes the healing. Just thought I would send some warm fuzzies your way!

Man, you have really been though the mill. You are hardcore.
Been telling my family about you and Mrs h3rbalist sends her love too.

But we have come to the conclusion that you are really Lance Murdoch.

You know, the man who's no stranger to danger.
If he's not in action, he's in traction.



He once said,

'Bones heal, chicks dig scars, and the United States of America has the best doctor-to-daredevil ratio in the world.'

I love the turn we made some where back at Albuquerque. I've laughed and smiled more today than I have in a long time. Keep it coming nothing heals more than laughter. Unfortunately I'm not very funny right now but you all are!!!!!
@h3rbalist All good I hope ,just kidding.
I don't want you to lie to them. Lol really dig the bones heal chicks dig scars stuff after my wife finished divorcing me I'm gonna make up some bad ass story and strut my skinny scared up ass down to the beach.Ha
Heart Disease can't knock me down Divorce is just another speed bump.
My wife hates my Mj use!!!!
I try to explain she doesn't get it.
I'm an advocate and she could care a less .

A couple of silly jokes to make ya smile

A brunette goes into a doctor's office and says that her body hurts wherever she touches it. "Impossible," says the doctor. "Show me." She takes her finger, presses on her elbow, and screams in agony. She pushes her knee and screams, pushes her ankle and screams, and so it goes on; everywhere she touches makes her scream with pain. The doctor says, "You're not really a brunette are you?" She says, "No, I dyed my hair. I'm naturally blonde." "I thought so," he says. "Your finger is broken."

A mom texts, "Hi! Son, what does IDK, LY, & TTYL mean?" He texts back, "I Don't Know, Love You, & Talk To You Later." The mom texts him, "It's ok, don't worry about it. I'll ask your sister, love you too."

Q: What is the difference between Tiger Woods and Santa Claus?
A: Santa stops after three hos.

I'm going to change it up sorry it's my mood today!!!!

Know if I only had a brain...

I've been away too long! @Melting Pot , wishing you a speedy recovery!!!

Looks like now I'm coming here for support. On Saturday the family and I were out the door to her family's house for a little get together. Mrs DieHard gets a call and then is hysterically crying. Turns out her mom is going to the ER with chest pains (she is only in her 50's). Next we are on the way to the ER. Many hours in the ER. Roller coaster ride. Heart attack, maybe not, heart attack, critical condition, maybe not, stress heart attack. Agggh. So now she is home like nothing ever happened. Wanting to go about her high-stress life as if she is immortal. Mrs. D is cracking the whip though. She is also trying to get her sis in line and helping too.

I totally know how you feel. ive got family that does the same thing on a regular basis! I dont see how people can take all that high volume stress ... and I mean like those that load it on themselves.

extreme stress triggers bad juju for me! ive been riding the stress rollercoaster for the last couple weeks and it has been like a psychedelic trip for me... all this emotion finally caught up to me last night in a petit mal [reading like a cereal box] with convulsions!

It totally makes the whole situation more tenuous when we who feel the most emotion about a situation... have the least control.

get mrs. diehard a bigger whip!
that works for more than one good thing!

It's been a little while haven't been feeling the greatest...
Went to mayo yesterday they say I'm looking good and healing well.They say it will be a while before I feel better don't let it get me down!!!



@DieHard you posted while I was typing.Really hope everything goes well. Mom needs to realize these are warning signs if you ignore, will not be pretty!!
Take it from someone who knows...
I'm the king of ignoring warning signs!!!!

I just watched this video. Absolute breakdown into tears. Waiting around at work, watching. I work a very "manly" job, had to hide to wipe tears! Fucking softy. The singer's sister apparently battled with mental illness and drug abuse while the mother was dying of cancer. Powerful shit.

Good morning my man, hope you are doing well today, really enjoyed talking with you last week, you have a great heart bro and I am blessed to call you a friend! I have spent the last few days dealing with dizzy spells and such, had a minor surgery yesterday, and am at a dr apt this morning for some stuff I have been putting off. I'll be 39 in july, had a lady that near 60 I think tell me that when she turned 40 she began falling apart, I feel she is right. Oh and I freaking hate needles, they just came into get bloodwood while I was typing this and I had to yell slightly, freaking hate needles, I'd just soon not! Hang in there my man, I hope you are on the right track, I know when taking to ya you have a plate full of stuff to worry about, healing and health is just one of them. You're a tough guy and have been through so much, what don't kill ya only makes ya stronger. I try to be positive myself but it's hard sometimes, I have always thought about what Bob Marley said, "Why live the negative way, why not make way for the positive day" keep on keeping on brother and if you wanna talk anytime pls call!

@DieHard - Sending positive thoughts your way for you and family. I wish you all the best in dealing with this turn of events, I know how much it can suck...

@Melting Pot - I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling the greatest. It is good to know you're healing up nicely though! Hang in there, hopefully it'll be all uphill from here!

@Ed's TnT - Positive vibes sent your way as well, I know where you're coming from. I've been dealing with health problems myself, not quite dizzy spells but lightheadedness and such. Turns out I have some sort of heart problem, and my cardiologist appointment today was just cancelled and rescheduled for Monday with a different doctor. I hate playing the waiting game, especially when I don't really know what's going on! Anyway, I wish you the best of luck man, and I hope you feel better soon!

Good morning, I hope you are healing up well. My favorite shade of blue.
