Drugs are good… they help me get through the day… they take the pain away… they make life bearable… now for those of you who aren’t familiar with what is going on… I have arthritis (since I was 14 – really probably was born with it) and in the last few years it has become VERY painful. I go to the pool to alleviate some of the issues with exercise and in an attempt to lose weight. Mostly though I walk around in pain every single day. Stairs are a HUGE obstacle for me. When I do stairs I hurt a lot more than if I avoid them. Yesterday I did an entire flight of stairs… so today… Drugs are good… I may be a bit dopey (literally) but it is better than the alternative…
Oh THOSE kinds of drugs…never mind! *giggle*
Again, on a serious note, I think that sometimes we forget that drugs, as bad as they can be, usually serve a very good purpose. For you, they serve a good purpose and I'm glad to know you found some relief!
P.S. The swimming is working!
