Hi everyone! I spent the weekend in Vegas. Oh, how much fun it is to get away for a while, especially to the city that never sleeps, right? WRONG.
My TMS pain was so intense, I almost didn't make it. I KNEW it was TMS but was still unable to stop it. I think the sensory overload was simply too much for me.
Left our 2 teenage boys home alone. Worry, fear.
Sat in between husband (6'2, 250 lb) and BIL (6'5", 340 lb) on airplane both coming and going. Rage.
Smoke, noise and people. Anger, rage.
Ran a 5K race. Fear. (I ran the whole way!)
Met 2 people I've only emailed with. Fear, worry.
Saw loud Cher concert. Disappointment, anger.
Walked and walked and walked. Fear, worry, disappointment, rage.
Spent lots of money. Worry, fear.
Cab drivers are crooks. Rage.
Hotel room alone with husband (still working through childhood sexual abuse issues). Fear, worry, anger, rage.
Alot of other things going on, but I was in intense pain every single day, and with every single step I took.  On Saturday, I popped alot of Tylenol just to get through the day. I didn't want to, but I felt I had no choice.
I'm home now, but pretty stiff. I read MBP on the plane and back, and it actually made me cry on the way back. I kept thinking to myself that I might never get better, what was I doing wrong, rage at the situation. Pretty pathetic.
I am just so happy to be home and away from Sin City! Sorry, to any LV'ers out there! The one really good thing I did was to run that 5K race. TMS was not about to stop me!! |

Michele..
The ideals and imagery of Las Vegas are as empty as empty could be....it's just a money drain that capitalizes on the american ideal of greed.
That being said,I LOVE the IDEA of the place,as it is Hedonism uncorked.However I can only afford/stand it about once every couple of years.The last time I went was for my brothers wedding and we had a miserable time,as no one watched our kids as they had promised.
It was also while I was,unbeknownst to myself,a TMS flare-up(the one in my pitching arm)....my Hot Rockin' sex kitten wife spent most of the time in the room with a headache,didn't want to drink,party or gamble.Wanted to go to the pool with the kids(booooooring)
so....yeah,now that I'm somebodies husband and a father...it pretty much sucks...but the idea is soooo enticing!!!
I would have to say that if LA is a 9.5 on the TMS cauldron scale,Vegas is a 9.8
....but the IDEA sounds fun....
sorry you had such a bad time....I did too.
peace

Michelle,
Good for you that you ran the race! That is commendable. You are so in tune with what was bothering you this past weekend. That too is commendable. Do you know how many people out there who are so completely out of touch with their feelings? You are not one of those people. Give yourself a pat on the back. Do not beat yourself up!
Laura
