OMG! This is EXACTLY like me! My husband thinks I'm seriously mentally ill in this area! I'm so glad to know someone else thinks like this as well. And, if you and I do it you know there have to be others! Maybe most people just don't admit to it. Or, maybe it's so ingrained they don't realize they do it. That was me until I voiced some of these thoughts to my husband and a couple of others over the years and got looks like I suddenly turned blue AND grew three heads. Or, maybe that many people really don't do it and we're the special few or two! I was going to say neurotic but special sounds better. I am sorry to hear about your arthritis. I didn't read back far so I don't know the back story but will go back and read more. I am a chronic pain patient and arthritis is one of my issues but I also have numerous spinal problems, fibromyalgia, tmj, degenerative disc disease, etc. If it weren't for my medications, injections, (and the occasional massage) I couldn't function! I wish you continued improvement! And thanks for providing me with a good laugh today- I really needed that today too! Namaste, Shauna Hi! OMG! This is EXACTLY like me!

I have been making all of this pain up!" After few hours after surgery, the doctor comes into my room and says: "You were a mess in there. It took me two and half hours to fix you all up...I thought it would only take an hour or so. You poor thing...no wonder you have been in so much pain!" Go figure! The mind is a strange place indeedy! As I was preparing to have surgery a couple of weeks ago I thought “The doctor isn’t going to find anything wrong…I just know it!
