It has come time to face the reality I've been avoiding. I am crumbling. I hurt. I was in my doctor's office today nearly in tears because of frustration, defeat, despair, depression. My body as a whol is strong. My muscles are strong, my heart and lungs are strong, and my brain is getting there. In parts, however, I am falling to pieces. My ankle is all twisted and puffed up, after an x-ray the little crack in my foot has been joined by a spur and swollen muscles/tissue. The bursitis in my knee and hip are really uncomfortable right now. (Imagine a deep, deep itch you cannot scratch nor make go away.) Rats.
So on Monday my doctor's nurse is calling the man with the needle, Dr. Wang (pronounced Wong for you weirdos out there). On my last visit to Dr. Wang he wanted to numb my lower back then insert a scope with which to guide a long needle into my spine full of... cortisone. Puke. On that visit he could not perform his super special "accupuncture" due to another recent rush of steroids into my system for the pneumonia I was battling.
However, I guess given my current state of disrepair it may just be a necessary evil. It's time to do it. I'm told it should also help my foot and shoulders, along with my back, hip and knee.
Go team.
That's my update for the week. I'm off to ice, avoid exercise and feel sorry for myself.
TTFN.
I'm just a girl trying to make sense of the ever-changing world. That's it! Join me and see if we can shed some light for eachother.
