Hi, I am new to the group. I have heard from Debra on occasion and have learned so much from her. I appreciate the guidance.
I have been off of work for almost four years now. It started with a little foot surgery that turned into a nightmare. Staff infection in the bone, I also have osteoporosis in my back . I am have leg pain because of the way I walk to baby my feet and back. I also need surgery on a hand, but am nervous about that.
It sounds like I am in my 80's when actually I will be 56 in April.
I realize that my friends and family are tired of me being "ILL" all of the time. I try not to mention it. I have one little grandson that is 14 that notices the dark circles and my limp. He gives me comfort and even a little sympathy, which I really don't crave. I would just like to feel better.
I am so tired of my friends telling me how lucky I am to be able to stay home and not work. I would rather feel well and work. I get lonely and depressed. Funny they don't notice that ....
Enough whining. I am blessed with a loving family and so glad that I found this group. Thanks for all of the posts. I do feel better after reading them..
