For all my life i have NEVER known to surrender or back down from a damned thing. Ill take an asz kicking rather than run. BUT this has got my body pretty beaten up and its just time to regroup, form an attack plan, execute and adapt as need be.
Over the last ten years the onset of aches and pains in different joints have been popping up along with type 2 diabetes. But true to my nature ive refused all surgeries telling them ill come back when it gets so bad i would rather die than be in pain...well ive reached that intersection and am throwing in the man card.So let me lay out the list first....
3 CYSTS ON LEFT KIDNEY
SNAPPED BICEPS LONG HEAD TENDON IN LEFT ARM
SPINAL STENOSIS
5 KNOWM SPOTS OF CARPAL TUNNEL
CATARACTS COMING ON
TYPE 2 DIABETES
2 BULDGING DISCS IN LUMBAR REGION LOWER BACK
NEUROPOTHY IN TOES
AND SEVERE ARTHRITIS IN LEFT HIP
TORN AND SEPERATING CARTILIDGE LEFT HIP
COMPLEX CYST IN LEFT HIP JOINT
So with this awesome collection of wear and tear of self abuse ive decided its time to TEMPORARILY tap out and start with the hip replacement. Im going Monday to get all my VA records and MRI films for the surgeon, my VA disability rep, and for filing SSI disability I will heal from the hip surgery and if all goes well with disability claims ill be retired and work on bikes as usual but not have that extra 40 hours for the man on top of everything else to deal with.
To add some perspective as to how much pain im in heres the comparisson. You all know that if its not raining or 5 degrees out i will be on a bike. This year i have rode 3 times for a total of maybe 150 miles or so. I simply cant lift my left leg in any manner. So i dont ask for much but im asking that you all pray the surgery will go good and by some of gods grace i can make my blls while trying to get regrouped.
