On continuing radio silence

[greatbear]

In case you might have been wondering, my social media silence for the past several weeks is due mostly to exasperation and other pissedoffedness as I deal with pain, immobility and other health issues. I've been trying my best to be as useful as possible as the both of us stare down the impending wedding date and the increasing rush to get things done before the big day. There have been setbacks but most have been figured out, but there's still more to come. Rather than sit here and bore everyone with rants and other negativity, I just stay off the internet. Currently I've been seeing several doctors and having tests and procedures with little relief. So, that's about where I stand health wise. Most of the wedding invitations have gone out to those who have provided their addresses, and a trickling have been coming back, around 70/30 attending. Kinda miffed at the lack of communication that inevitably happens, but I have my way around that too. If I have to be strapped to a handtruck and rolled down the aisle on the big day, that's what I'll do. I'll be happy just to be able to stand and not be in pain.

So, there ya have it, the reason for radio silence.

Well I'm happy to hear from you! Even as you're weighed down with pain and pressure.

"If I have to be strapped to a handtruck and rolled down the aisle on the big day, that's what I'll do."

You only get to do that if you wear the Hannibal Lecter mask.

A year's supply of Chianti and fava beans to you for catching the reference. :)

Ha! That's the first thing I thought of too. I saw this over on FB, but glad to hear from you again over here in LJ-land. Hope you're feeling better.

I am sorry you are in pain. I am all too aware that I owe you another private communication; I shall attend to it shortly.

It seems you're new to this "internet" and unaware of it's common usage and cultural traditions. Although you may be confused by your "actual problems," it is a location in which negativity, whining with an h or capital H, and venting is appropriate; perhaps even the norm.

Thanks for the update .... I am hoping you'll have some kind of relief from the pain for your nuptials.

You didn't hear from me because I knew I couldn't attend in person and I didn't want you to waste any time or effort on me.

You're in my heart, thoughts and prayers ...

Here's hoping the docs find an effective treatment for your troubles soon, so your wedding day is fantastic!
