The world around me is getting back to normal after dealing with COVID-19 for such a long time, and this is a good thing.
But for me it's just the same. No outings, summer gatherings, or happy days at the beach. The pain from my Prolia-related vertebral fractures is continues unabated; my capacity to deal with unrelenting pain to be with friends and family is limited.
While I am grateful that I can get around a bit to take care of myself and not languish in a nursing home, it is with pain in every step. And while I try to walk a few blocks each day, it is with pain, and venturing much beyond that is simply too painful.
I'm grateful that there is a small market in the building next door, because supermarket shopping would be out of the question for me.
And since I no longer have a car (dangerously painful to drive) I pretty much depend on their limited offerings and a few online grocery services.
It's sickening to see Amgen's Prolia commercials on TV. I wonder if they would ever invite me to be one of their "models!" HA!
