What Is Jim (Sum1) Up To Today?

Health Issues. Again, Or Ongoing Still

Oh To Be Young Again!

         No!  Not really,  You couldn't pay me enough to be in my 20's or 30's.  Not in today's world.

         My days of being young and carefree are long gone.  It's not something me or anyone else has done, it's life,  Nothing more.

         In the past four weeks, I've progressed from walking normally, sometimes with a limp, to walking with a limp almost all the time, to walking with a cane, and now walking with a Walker!

         There is no way I could function as a person, doing what needs to be done, without that walker  It's a cheap thing, made of Aluminum, the sides fold in for easy storage, two wheels in front.  It get the job done.  We have a nicer one, its left in the kitchen to use when needed.

         I saw my Oncologist yesterday.  I wanted his opinion about the cause of the pain.  Of course he's worried that it's the Myeloma causing it.  I thought it was due to a pinched nerve.  We'll find out about the Myeloma being the cause  though.  I'm having an MRI done at 1pm.  I won't be able to lie there as needed, so I'll take a Valium at noon, and another when I arrive there.

         Imagine for a moment a life like this.  You can't cook, about all you can do is sit around the house.  Worst of all, what about showering?  Think about it for 2 seconds or so.  Maybe it will open your eyes.
