Ok.. so good mood continues to a point, but good news does not follow.
I saw a doctor today. Thanks to an xray and urine analysis my doctor is under the impression that I have Osteosclerosis. Blood work is to be done tomorrow to confirm this disorder as well as to confirm Rheumatoid Arthritis in both hips, knees and pelvis.
Without a hip replacement in my left hip I will not be able to walk within a year. Just by walking and moving I have fragmented the socket of my left hip while the ball hardens and the tubal bone (femur) shows a dense white on the xray (they should be grey, a bright white shows a hardening of the bone, hence the OS).
So.. per my doctors summation I have the body of a 75 year old woman who shouldn't be walking or standing upright.
So.. there ya have it. My body, at the skeletel level, is falling apart.
I have 6 months to replace my hip and then will be wheelchair bound within 15 years and there is not a damn thing I can do about that.
so..... fuck.

That's terrible news, I'm so sorry to hear that My mum has chronic osteoarthritis in every bone and joint in her body, but due to other problems, she isn't able to take any painkillers or steroids to help, and it's something she just has to put up with and bear every day, so I hate the idea of someone else being in a similar situation Best wishes

One thing I've learned is that you do what you have to do and life goes on. You'll handle it, and eventually make peace with it. Life's too short as it is. Keep your chin up.
