Congrats on getting better. You’ve had to deal with a lot.
I had a childhood friend pass away at 53. He wrote a book called “The Pain Chronicles” He had a congenital defect in his neck vertebrae that caused them to splinter when he was in his 40s. He lived with pain 24/7 and also had to rehab his way back from almost fatal doses of various pain meds.
I am sorry. I may read that.
If I sit for more than a few hours without a pillow, it will feel like every bone in my body is broken and every ligament torn.
Fighting to keep roxys and Xanax at bay for as needed only isn’t a piece of cake either.
I empathize with your friend and I pray God finally gave him some peace.
Splintered vertebrae sounds like a sick nightmare from a horror movie :(
The pain causes several thousand palpitations a day sometime and there was damage to the sinus nodes too.
I gave up wondering if today’s the day.
Only God knows and he’s keeping it a secret :)
In the meantime, he’s kept my belly full and a roof over my head and FR and the ability to work overnight on Staten Island and Amazon Prime :)
This post meant a lot. Thanks for sharing.
