Update On My Health

 

Here’s an update on my health.

It hasn’t been that great as late.

As the Osteoporosis eats my vertebra it is compounding and creating new “Compression Fractures”.

I now have eight. Five in my lumbar section and three in the ‘T’ section. All in a row.

To give you an idea how severe it is, so far I have went from being ‘five foot nine’ inches tall to, now, ‘five foot six’ inches short.

Three inches is quite an amount of vertebrae to lose.

These fractures are what is making my life one of constant pain.

The Cauda Equina bundle of nerves controls most everything below your nipples.

EVERYTHING!

Walking, sitting, standing, bodily functions, everything!

My problem is the increasing amount of pain.

My various doctors and surgeons are telling me that soon I will be unable to walk.

To be truthful …

But …

No matter how severe the pain, I force myself to walk my girls twice or more a day.

Four kilometers each walk.

Then I sit on my couch and cry.

I fall into this mood and situation four or five times a year.

Mostly because I know that another surgery is near.

Facing the reality of my reality helps greatly.

After all …

I am a “Realist” by religion.

So, Campers and Camperettes, bear with me till I am done all the coming medical tests and consultations.

And yet more trials and tribulations.

I still see ‘Light’ in this ‘Darkness’

Darkness I call ‘Life’.
