Hi @outlander

I have that appointment in less than three hours - I feel physically uncomfortable - but emotionally okay - the good thing is I haven't had a phone call cancelling it

Hi @Former-Member

You are right - life can be so unfair - the base of it is that nothing we can do here can be the be-all and cure-all - life is just what it is - the best of people can suffer terribly while it can sometimes seem as if the worst can get away with things - 

Life the luck of the draw with smoking - some people get cancer and other's don't - how do we work that out? Actually we can't

My gripe

My stars - yesterday in the supermarket I was nearly skittled by a child who suddenly ran fast around the corner into the aisle and (she was so little) nearly ran into me - and if I had not moved quickly I could have fallen onto her and she would have been hurt - as indeed would I have. As it was the sudden movement caused me a lot of pain - I have it still

But I am ashamed - I yelled "DON'T RUN!!!" really loudly - and scared her - I didn't see what happened because I just collapsed over the trolley - but the woman I was with saw - ands the mother picked the child up and was comforting her and she glared at me apparently - and later the mother had put the child into the trolley with her younger child - but still

As badly as I feel I know I would do the same again - I am vulnerable in such places yet I feel as if I have the right everyone has to be their and select my own shopping - small children should be minded by their parents and not allowed to run around like that

If I had fallen onto that child it could have been so much worse. I didn't sleep well thinking about it - and felt shame - shame that I yelled at a very small child and shame that I would do the same again

Really bad - and another part of me says I have the right to defend myself and falling - esp onto a small child - would have been far worse - yes - I am glad I am seeing my pain-specialist today

Dec - sore as

Yes - it feels like this - but my specialist is a woman and I don't rap-dance
