It has been awhile since I posted on this blog and I decided to update those of you who might be reading it. I recently went to my orthopedic surgeon who did the core decompressions on both of my hips. It had been a little over a year since I had seen him and I went having made up my mind to have my hips replaced. I know that it is a huge decision to make, but, I have had enough of the pain and since I am still fighting for Social Security disability I thought that I had better get on with my life.
Well I insisted that he take an x-ray of my hips to make sure that there wasn't healing going on, and surprise he said that they looked better than they did before. Although he did not have my previous x-ray's or MRI he thought that we should wait. I admit they don't hurt as bad in warm weather,but, cold weather is a killer. I think I have some arthritis that has set in and the cold makes parts of my body ache that had never ached before. I told him this winter will be the real test. Hey, I am in my 30's and I want to lead as normal a life as possible. But to everyone out there that shares this affliction with me you know that is virtually impossible especially in the later stages of the disease!
I am still waiting to receive a court date for my disability case and am barely making ends meet. I don't know how the goverment expects people to be able to live with no income. I think it's very sad that the goverment gives so many benefits to illegal aliens and so few benefits to American's who had paid their share of taxes. It just doesn't make any sense what so ever. I paid into the system and now when I am down and out it is like pulling teeth to receive the benefits you have earned. Is this a great country or what?
