Post what you're thinking right now.

I asked her and she said that's just the way it is sometimes, I guess she either didn't believe how much pain I was in or was just stumped. My pain's always worse after physio so I guess I'm pushing myself too hard too soon but the physio is insistant on super fast progress. I'm seeing my surgeon on Wednesday for a catch up so I'll talk to him about it then, hopefully that'll go well.

Are you good at expressing how bad the pain is in words?

Telling that it is really bad may not be enough.

Telling how you nearly pass out, or what things it makes impossible for you to do may be something they'll listen too.

Spectrumites sometimes don't have the facial and bodily expression that seems to belong with severe pain, and that may make they will not be taken serious.

Ah! I never thought of that. Now you said it that's really true and it happens all the time in loads of situations. I'll get my mum to explain how the pain is, they'll understand then. Thanks, it finally makes sense now!

I'm kinda shocked that my first thought was "wow, this is gorgeous" my second was "I'd never in a million year be able to afford a night in a luxurious place like this," and the inevitable "I woudln't sleep because I'd be expecting the whole thing to collapse and shred/crush/drown me" didn't occur to me until I stopped and thought about it for about ten seconds more.

Sleeping underwater amongst marine life is something many of us could only daydream about. For some lucky travelers, this dream has now turned into a reality.

A little over five years ago, Conrad Maldives Rangali Island opened the very first undersea restaurant. To celebrate their anniversary, the restaurant offered guests the chance to not only eat under the sea, but sleep under it as well. The 12-seat restaurant, which sits 16 feet below sea level of the Indian Ocean, was converted into a private bedroom suite for two, complete with a private champagne dinner and breakfast in bed. The view of the vibrant coral reef that surrounds the encased clear glass is utterly breathtaking.
 
The rest of the resort, which is above water, isn't too shabby either. The Maldives hotel boasts 50 luxurious water villas, 79 exotic beach villas and 21 fabulous spa water villas with private treatment rooms. Stunning living areas are arranged around courtyards with a fountain, while huge outdoor garden-bathrooms offer a taste of the tropics, enormous glass doors substitute for walls and ingenious landscaping ensures total seclusion.

I HAVE NO THOUGHTS BEYOND SHEER TERROR AT SLEEPING THERE.  NEVER, NEVER, EVER, EVER IN THIS OR ANY OTHER UNIVERSE.

Are you afraid of windows or water?

[QuirkyCarla]

I'm bored.

I also miss my boyfriend.

Are you afraid of windows or water?

Water overhead, big fish swimming anywhere near me.

I see. It's windows for me. Though have to say, a very interesting mind designed that room.

I'd want my whole house to look like that if I was mega-rich and ran out of more productive things to do with my money, though I'd have blinds installed in case the shimmering light started to annoy me.

I dislike windows. That's why I run Linux.

What if the water had penguins in it?

I don't think blinds alone would cut it for a few reasons (shape being the main thing, but inadequate ability to fully filter light would also be an issue).  You'd need somethign more like a motorized retractable canopy.

Funny, my thought process was the exact reverse of that. I instantly thought, nightmare death trap, but it's too awesome to not risk it.
