Plus squats kill me on Fridays and over the weekend and until Monday my thighs are killing me so it's hard to do those deadlifts on Monday because I feel it in my thighs and not my back.

The deadlift isnt popular, for the exact reason why you dont wanna do it. It's kind of like the squat, its heavy ass weight, its draining, and you feel light headed when your done (sometimes see stars.)
After a little while you'll start healing faster because your body will get used to working out, and this wont be as much of a problem. Everyone has been sore the next day one time or anther, I can remeber days where I couldnt walk without feeling an insane amount of pain in my legs, its all part of this sport. To get anything good in life you have to work for it (except if you by some chance win the lotto...but then again you still have to work for the money to buy the ticket)
Also never worry about what your lifting in the gym. If your going in there to boost your ego, then get out, because your in there for the wrong reason. Lifting a sh*t load of weight doesn't make you anyone better than the other guy. What makes you good is what you started off at, and what your at today. Think about it, whose a better lifter, someone who started off with a 300 lb. bench press (and is still there today) or someone who started off doing the bar and is now at a 300 lb. bench press. (not everyone is equal) You'll eventually work your way up there, just keep on going.
