Dude!,
You can't let a few nimrods on this board bother you! You are really hurting and I can see that. I would think there would be more SUPPORT for you on this board, especially since you've kept us so informed about how you've been.
Just tell them to STFU! 
thinking of you Carl

Yeah, you'd think that, but I guess for some people it's more fun to kick someone when they're down. That's okay though, I'll stick around since there are some folks like yourself who actually DO care.
Thanks PD,
Carl D

Eric,
A 9 or 10er and you're able to sit at the computer? Type? Post? Either you are a God or your concept of 9 or 10 is way different than mine. 10 is basically mental mush time, no ability to do rational things. 10 is time for head banging, or flat out bawling from the pain. 10 is gnashing of the teeth pain, like being possessed by a demon.
Not that I don't think your head hurts. I'm just not sure everybody here understands what a 10 is. If 10 is simply your concept of the most pain you've ever had, and at that level you can still do things like read and post... man I'm telling you there are about 5 levels worse than that and you should thank your lucky stars you ain't seen them yet.

And Carl... dude, that sucks about the guitar. I have 3 and the loss of any of them would be like losing a family member. I hear Jonny with the big yawn though, cause you gotta know there'll be a guitar there for you to jam on, and going on about how bummed you are cause now you can't play... well it just is silly. You know you'll be able to play. As for the comment from forgetfulnot, well that was hurtful but you have been on a roll with the pity party posts, and you can't expect every last person to be a grown up about anything at all. So, sit back and realize you have an ENORMOUS number of people here who care about you and who more than offset any negative comments you might hear.

Wish I knew and Wish I played guitar.
Man I'd even play a drunkin' fool if I weren't afraid to drink with the meds. Those days are gone i guess... Being daring? Gotta not F-up for others sake not just my own!
Would love a cocktail though

Damn, I didn't realize that me venting about all the wicked shit that is happening to me was a 'pity party.' Right now I am in crippling pain 24/7, and instead of it getting better, it keeps getting worse. I don't think there are too many people here who would react much differently if it was happening to them. I come here for support, and I am extremely grateful for so many people here who have given me lots of good advice. I was so hurt tonight that I came very close to deleting my profile, but decided against it because there are too many people here that I DO care about. But I guess I probably should just keep quiet about it instead of pouring my heart out here when I have no one else to turn to. I'm sorry but I don't know what else to do.
Like you said though Fubar, losing one of your guitars would be like losing a family member. Well, in one day I lost a friend AND my guitar. My legs are so messed up I can't even walk down the street to the store. I have to grab onto stuff just to get around my apartment. I guess some people are tired of hearing about it though. Even more so, I'm tired of going through it myself.
I'm sorry, I've probably said too much here so I'll shut up now and go away.
Peace,
Carl D

Carl,
I'm one of the ones who is sending you good vibes and hoping you pull through this. Sorry if my explanation above didn't help. I was just trying to help you see that just because some bonehead makes an insensitive comment, it's no reason to think this whole place agrees with them. Just chill out.

I know Fubar. That is why I am still here. I'm just so frustrated I don't know what to do. The lack of sleep isn't helping either - just messing with my head even more. Like I said before - I don't deal with pain very well at all. Thanks for the vibes - I need all of them I can get.
Peace,
Carl D

My "brainwasher"gave me this idea some time ago to try ease of some of the pain"taking the focus away"
Try put some favourite music on the cd-player on really low and try focus on lissening on it.
We all know what hell you are going trough,believe me we do.
If you cant fix the music try focusing on other things.
Some of you will call this nonsens but its worth at least a try,or?
The best from Svenn

Carl,
I used to play back in the seventies. Had a roommate steal my EB3. Got second one, which was many years later not returned by a friend. Had an early vintage black and white Telecaster Bass and a drum set.
After college got a job in Houston and left my good stuff at my parents for safekeeping. Well, my younger brother decides he wants to be a musician and when I get back from Houston, everything is gone. I took up writing.
It's hard to say to someone that their friends don't seem that much like friends when they cause you such a personal loss so uncaringly. Hard to call them friends, but stuff like having very personal stuff turn up missing among friends has happened to many of us along the way.
In your immobile physical condition now, it makes the loss of percieved friends and personal possessions a harder type of hurt to cope with that is not easily dismissed.
I agree with Fu that jonny was refering to the fact that your point about not having a guitar for Nashville would
not be something to worry about at this time, although I'm aware it's not my place to speak for him. And then yes, I guess another person might not have the words you needed to hear now. Sometimes people run out of vibes, but I thought Opus was on the money though, acknowledging most all your post. Then again, not all people respond to ALL aspects of a post like yours, just the portion where they have something good to say.
Have faith in the friends or family you still have and know that sometimes changes happen in your social life when things beset you as they have. That's a tough realization of chronic pain too.
Make it too that next doctor's appointment and get some answers. Like I said, I took up writing when stuff like that happened when I was younger and playing seems difficult for you now. Going back, some of what I wrote at the time was not about the joys of life either, and actually bitter about friends, but it's gotten better. Transcending those times is important. Hope you can have a better day.
Kevin M
