Peter, you are not human waste and you are not yapping on and on. We are here to listen during the good times and the bad. And, yes, I feel depressed all the time. In 15 years the only breaks I've had were the visits w/ my granddaughter in her first 3 years of life. But I haven't seen her for almost 8 years. At that time I saw the middle sister, but she wasn't even 2 months old, and I've never seen the baby. I also have a grandson I've never even seen a picture of. So I've had no breaks in the last 15 years since the beginning of my severe physical disabilities. You are not alone, my friend. Please, please keep both families in mind - your 'natural' family and the one you have here, my brother. Hey, at least you speak to me. The bro I am related to by blood asked me, essentially, not to even email him. I am sorry that you are so miserable, but you've got to become your own advocate and make sure your team knows that the meds are not doing what they're supposed to do. And if you take a lot of pain meds, they can make depression worse. Please talk to whoever it is who can change your meds and let us know how it goes. Take care of yourself, my brother.

NOTE: I can't imagine anyone is surprised that distracted driving has overtaken drunk driving as the number one cause of death on the road. Please, y'all, keep your eyes sharp when you drive. The guy in the next car could be on a computer in the dash board (whoever dreamed that up should have to watch autopsies), while the one behind you is texting. It's important to be aware of those around you. The kid who ended my second to last life was in a huge SUV and on the telephone.
