Today is Thursday, August 26, 2023.
I'm still in pain every single day of my life because of the flood of abysmally ignorant and/or careless medical advice purveyed by a medical specialist and discussed in other parts of this blog.
I keep hoping that time will bring relief, and that eventually I might go for a nice walk in good weather without the distraction of the flood of pain from the vertebrae which were fractured when a retina doctor -- who surely must have known better -- told me my retinal condition was because I was "on Prolia," when the correct answer would have been (as I later learned to my sorrow) that I had osteoporosis.
But this careless and inaccurate statement initiated a flood of events that have left me in pain and/or extreme discomfort for the past several years.
I'm back on Prolia now, but while this may forestall future damage, unfortunately the painful fractures that have already occurred - -vertebral fractures that cannot be set and which will never heal properly -- are still part of my daily life.
My choices: remaining immobile which is unhealthy in general and especially unhealthy for bones, or getting up and getting around despite the pain.
Despite the flood of pain I live with each day I take the latter road as much as I can tolerate.
