Damn I feel old, worthless and frustrated...

Post by Major Kong »

My wife bought an home entertainment center from Monoprice. It arrived today and it didn't look all that hard to put together and really it wasn't.

Unless your hands feel like two balloons and you find it danged near impossible to hold on to any tool. :(

What should have been no more than a ½ hour to complete took nearly 2hrs. :shock:

I got er done and with the help of my wife put our bedroom TV on the stand (43" Samsung Plasma) and secured it...it looks good and I didn't break anything but hellfar I'm getting frustrated.

My doctor says I'm doing alright and what I'm experiencing is to be expected. My tremors are under control to the naked eye but if you look close enough the shaking, tics and trembling are there...more noticeable in the hands and my left eye.

I'm thankful for the medication I'm on and can't imagine what folks did before mirapex, cymbalta and mobic...the 3 I'm taking now.

Sorry to hear this Kong. Try to stay positive, keep your chin up, and take it a day at a time.
