Fluke, it does get better. It does, really. I hope your back is better soon, and that you can get off those drugs. Log in and post often.

and... Happy Birthday!

I was hesitating to reply this topic for some weeks now. I was thinking my small problems are not worth moaning about and they're still not. But at this moment I can't hold my self back anymore. What a crappy year this is! After 12 years the love of my life sudenly left me, I had to go and live with my mom again. Right after that I got in an accident with my vintage Vespa scooter. I totalled it with out my fault. Then I fell of my bike and broke my thumb, it took 14 weeks of recovery which meant no guitar playing and no driving so I had to use public transport to work. Everyday for 3 hours, single journey.. Finaly the cast (?) came off and I could drive again. So last weekend I could roadie again for the band I support. But then.. Sunday morning I awoke and my back kinda hurt. It got worse and when I tried to make me lunch I collapsed in the kitchen and laid there for 45 minutes. When I tried to crawl back to bed it happened again on the stairs. I'm on diazepam now and lying in bed since sunday. And now I'm letting myself go, I might aswell add that it was my birthday Monday and the only thing that cheered me up was my sister bringing me a new dosis of medicin..
Did not type this to get any sympathy but just to get it of my chest. What I need to say though is that I love you people that post so many posts so that F5ing brings new posts to read everytime..

Sympathies mate, and this might sound odd, but try and get out of bed as often as possible and walk, this is the best thing, i am talking from experience here. When i F**ked my back up many years ago, i followed a similar path as you, diasipam and bedrest, after a couple of weeks of this shit i tried to walk and my back muscles went into spasm, the pain from this was worse than the original prolapsed discs!!! ended up speaking to a chiropractor who told me to get off my arse and walk, and although extremely painful at first it became easier and easier. Good luck.

'09 has been a tough year for many of us fluke. Let's hope that '10 brings us some better days.

Hang in there.

I'll raise a glass this weekend to the two ya. Stay positive lads

I think many people will be glad to see the back of 2009. Goodbye Noughties, you will not be greatly missed. Let's hope the Teenies, or whatever the next decade's going to be called, will be better.

Hang on in there, fluke and dave. Good thoughts are with you.

100% seconded. Here's to the future being way better. It's gotta be better than 2009 anyways.

Don't get me wrong, there were a lot of great things about this year. But also a lot of shit that nobody needed.

Thirded. Fluke, I hope your back is feeling some relief and that you're starting to get on the road to recovery from that pain at least. I hear you about the relationship stuff, too. Chin up buddy, the people in here love ye, and are always 'here' for a chat and a shoulder.

Dave81, I hope the end of the year approaching and the New Year bring you some more happiness and joy in your life.

All of us/yez/etc... 2010 will be a better year all 'round for all of us if we make it that way. I wish nothing but the best and fairest of sailing to all of you.

Thanks you guys and girls!
@ Walshy, most of the time I am a real positive person but sometimes it can just get to me..
Moose, I think that's good advise, I keep that in mind and gonna do my best to keep moving as much as possible. At this moment I'm so scared the pain comes back as suddenly as it did that I'm totaly cramped (?)
Fr. raising a glass right back at ya, fire water brings more muscle relief then any diazepam could do..
Dr. Thanks for the first reaction with your nice words, it was the moment that I really needed them thanks a lot!
Territa and Craig.. thanx for inviting me to be here. I come here for a realy long time now but kinda stopped posting because I'll never reach the standard you all do. It doesn't matter really but it is really nice to see that I get this reaction from you (I mean ALL of you) when I share something!
Dave.. Life seems to suck sometimes but I have to learn I need to not keep it for myself.. I'm doing that to often. Sharing, how dumb it seems to me always helps me to take a new step or learn something about live or about myself.
Finaly: 2009 had it's moments.. But man will I be glad when I can leave this year behind me. The strange thing about typing this here is that I can honoustly say I was here every day of the year.. (give or take a weekend.. ) And I hope I will be here the next year every day as well. The "sunglass incident" scared me a bit because I thought that would make the chance of meeting you all would be a lot less. Please Phillip/Spider if you're reading this.. next year I come to see you on the island again..

About my back: today I walked to the toilet for the first time all by myself.. Yeaahj!

Love ou all!!

Oh how things that can seem so insignificant to most are actually really important achievements (something I know a little about myself)! Good on you, fluke. Keep moving!

Fluke, now you're drifting off topic... Big hug.

Sorry, yes, there has been a conspicuous lack of true moaning in the last few posts.

Ok, my work email account has been screwed for the last few days. I'm aware that a whole pile of work is building up in my inbox but I can't access it. The office IT people say that the security of the system may have been breached, with potentially serious implications. Personally I think it sounds like they may have been watching too much Spooks, but hey. And they still haven't managed to fix it.

So there's an on-topic trivial and unimportant moan for you.

[MissWalshy]

Spooks is ace isn't it?
