Also, to answer your question, in my second shoulder surgery, I needed four anchors drilled into the socket of my shoulder to repair and reattach my badly torn labrum which was torn completely off the bone, posteriorly from about the 12 to 6 o'clock position. I remember waking up from surgery trembling in pain, and throwing up because it hurt so bad. That is only one of about 13 other injuries of mine I sustained from attempting to serve my country as a US Navy SEAL when I was 20, which I'm still suffering from today, as they have progressively gotten worse and the operation on my shoulder was unsuccessful on top of that. Most of them have been in need of surgical intervention this whole time, but I was too preoccupied with fixing my right shoulder first. I have the same problem in my other shoulder, and my hip. Not to mention my bad clavicular joints, elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles of course (I have torn cartilage in both knees and my left ankle as well). I've been living (and working) with a completely bone on bone shoulder for about the past six years now, which more than likely needs a total shoulder replacement at this point, and with literally no lumbar discs left to support my spinal column (severely progressed, degenerative disc disease). My spine is so stiff and in so much constant pain that I can barely walk or move now, it's ridiculous.
You'd think it ends there right? Well in 2017 I developed the most severe case of IBS-C in which my colon essentially stopped functioning the way it's supposed to, and there's no cure. Every day, every hour, every minute, I've been in cramping, constipated agony ever since then, unable to ever fully evacuate my bowels. It is the most excruciating torture you could ever imagine, and I have to deal with that, ON TOP of all of my other horrible orthopedic injuries.
It takes a lot for me to want to die, @lost_soul83, I think I have a pretty good taste of what it's like to suffer, and you should probably refrain from asking me in such a blatantly rude and uninvited, condescending manner next time, assuming I don't. Actually, that goes for posting on my threads in general. I'm ex-military, I don't tolerate disrespect.
I kind of wish all the atheists and agnostics who have disputed with me would read this too. Despite this extent of suffering and agony I'm in, I still don't blame God, God is good and He has nothing to do with it. This is the result of Satan and the evil that still inhabits this world. Despite this magnitude of pain, I still love my Savior more than anything, and know this is only temporary. That's how strong my faith is.
