I felt the same sometimes, and also for me, I don't like to feel like I am complaining all the time. The way I was raised, I was taught that no one really cared. It's hard for me to grasp sometimes that people do actually care, irl treatment team (I cried in pdoc's office recently cuz I could see it in his eyes) and irl friends and even internet friends, who have never actually me, like y'all.

But please, always feel like you can post. There is pretty much always someone around.

Also, spoke to a friend with medical experience about the possible infection. I'm gonna get it looked at tomorrow, when I get back from the weekend road trip. Which will probably only add to the soreness... after spending probably 6 hours in car tomorrow, I get to go to the ER and have it looked at... yay...
