Just An Update...

It is said that time marches on. It feels as though it actually runs along as I grow older. A week seems like a day, and I feel as though things are constantly rushing along. I continue to experience changes within my body, but at this stage those changes are all pretty much negative. I feel more pain because of the old injuries from the motortcycle accident, more aging because of calenders, and seemingly less time to keep up with a great deal of things in life. My leg and my hips are hurting more as time progresses, and my hand gets worse despite the fact that an orthopedic hand specialist and a neurologist have both told me that there's nothing seriously wrong and nothing can actually be fixed. I function pretty well physically with everything that I do, but I feel "uncomfortable" all of the time. I have discovered recently that the two orthopedic surgeons that I had considered for any future surgery are now both irrelevent to my cause. One of them left his former practice and is no longer able to be found on the internet, and the other no longer handles the type of proceedures that I will require in the future. I really don't want to consider having surgery any time soon, but it was nice to know that I had people lined up, just in case.

I live a pretty active life and I remain a fairly happy guy, but I realize in the back of my mind that things are getting tougher to deal with little by little. I try to keep in mind that my body isn't in charge and that I need to focus on things that matter beyond physical pain and discomfort. So..leave it all at the blog, right?
