Makes me want to put my arms around you and hold you and let you just cry it out.

Life isn't fair sometimes as I well know. I worked as hard as a body could work, with 2 boys; an invalid mother and father and a husband and a very high stress responsible job. Long hours, worked with pneumonia more times than I can count. Broken legs, broken feet, knee surgeries, abdominal surgeries, and thru it all, I went back to work as soon as I could. Lived for time off and there was very little of it. But I set the office up for a big corporation, set up all the book keeping, manuals, etc. and no one else was trained. I was expected to do it all. I did because I had boys to put thru school and my Mom's expenses to pay. And I was 28 when it all started. No life wasn't fair to me either.

I finally got enough money put away that when my company offered a retirement package when I was 55 years old, I jumped at the chance to have a normal life. I retired at 55 and 3 years later I discovered that now I have an incurable disease that there is no medication for and very little adequate treatment. No life isn't fair but we weren't promised that it would be. We just have to make the best of what we've got.

O.K. now, let's take stock,
1. How are the eyes?
2. How, when and where is the pain in the ankle?
3. and what kind of pain are you getting in the ankle and leg?
4. Are you taking anything for pain?

Then, while I'm waiting on the answers to this, call the doctor and ask for an MRI of your back again. And ask for a copy of the report and the film.

Hugs to you kiddo!!!
