Life's little bumps
Nov 26, 2012
Part of the reason I'm so desperate for surgery is I'm tired of looking like my dad. He played Santa with no padding.
The other reason is my continuing falls. I have broken my foot twice in the last 5 years, surgery the second time. Fell another time and required surgery on my knee two Christmases ago. Fell down a set of stairs in July and broke my upper arm and tore the rotator cuff. I'm tired of pain. Now the power steering has gone on my car which really, really hurts my arm. I know I'm not the only one in pain but that is my major reason for surgery. No health problems, no diabetes. Just fibro with IBS from the fibro and severe reflux. I'm a whiner, but I really do hate pain.
