I did not realize how long since I posted here. I am all moved in at new place. The amount of stuff I threw out is a disgrace but it does feel good to have all that baggage gone. Health issues are occupying me now. For a couple years I have been having leg problems. Tried chiropractor, various medication, physical therapy, nothing helped much. I was referred to spine clinic and while waiting for that appt, things got worse fast, My left him has become so painful. Getting up from sitting position is excruciating and I need a cane to walk at all. Had MRI last week and saw Dr yesterday. My hip needs to be replaced. That didn’t surprise me, but it has to be done as soon as possible. Seems I have a vascular necrosis, hip bone end is dead and has collapsed. I also have major spine issues. As soon as they get approval from insurance, I will go for epidural shots. Christmas will be sparse. I just don’t have the ability to do things right now.
