Sobering Developments
|
Sobering Developments Some sobering developments have happened. Was enjoying semi-retirement, volunteering for the Thanksgiving holiday to the less fortunate. Came down with strep throat, not fun at my age, at all. Stuck in bed for a week, massive antibiotics. Got better, but missed the Holidays. Was looking forward to moving on after recovering, enjoying full retirement. Doing things that I enjoyed, when I wanted to, living a "normal" life on a "normal" schedule. But, seems was not meant to be. Had lingering back pain from being stuck in bed for that week, so consulted my doctor when I had a major back spasm with electric shocks. Meds for pain and spasms helped, but difficulty in walking did not improve. Sitting was unbearable. Now, as you may recall, I've enjoyed the last 10 years, relatively pain free, after recovering from neck fusion, 5 lower back disc herniations repaired. So, know the drill n trials they cause. Went for an MRI last week, got totally blind-sided by the report. Have major disc degeneration disease, affecting 7 levels, some herniations touching the spinal cord, causing the electric shocks to my low back. Have to return to my orthopedic surgeon to see of any repairs can be made, or treatments will be effective. So.....................life is on hold again. It is difficult for me to spend time sitting at computer, walking or standing semi-OK, and laying in bed, too. None of this was in my plans for retirement! Have lived a long , full life, sometimes rocky, mostly satisfying. Was looking forward to reaping the rewards of my life. Romance her heart, tease her body, enjoy the company shared in bed n out! Treasure every moment spent together, in good times n bad! Cum visit my blog, you're always welcum!  submokey Become a watcher! THINK PINK! |

I so feel for you. I left my job for health reasons, got over some of it and got gob-smacked by an issue similar to yours. Each day does get better- it's the getting there that hurts the most. Hope the surgeon is someone you can speak frankly with and get some relief. Will be thinking about you (Virtual Symposium Group) use Virtual Symposium Group

Major OUCH! I have had a few lumbar decompressions done as well as a disc removal/fusion so I hate to think of how it is for you right now. Hope they can do a lot of good for you and soon. A gentle If you see me in the real world, come say "Hi Justskin." I always behave. Preferably not well.
