Ugh Really World? Now Is Not The Time!



Recommended Posts

Ok so here's an update. I found out a couple days ago that I apparently have several torn disks, and the ones that aren't torn are bulging. Because I've gone so long without the diagnosis my spine has begun to deteriorate. Finding this news out... I couldn't be happier... you're probably thinking I'm crazy but hear me out. I've been going to Drs for years to figure out why I'm in pain. And Dr after Dr told me its because you're overweight its because you're overweight it's probably just stress... you know you're overweight right? When this Dr looked me in the eyes and said "Stelina, I know why you're in pain. I understand how hard this must be for you. We are going to do everything we can to fix it." My whole body gave a sigh of relief! We know! Now we can fix it!! When he stopped and actually said the words "it's not in your head" I damn near cried... I've been hearing that my whole life and he told me I understand and its not in your head. That was one of the happiest moments in my life. I know I may sound strange to y'all but for the first time in my head, I'm on the road to recovery as opposed to just treating the symptoms with copious amounts of pain killers and muscle relaxers. IM GOING TO GET MY LIFE BACK!

I really don't have the words... my life is almost identical to many of those posted here... reading all the good advice, prayers & words of wisdom (through my tears for all of us... turning from sad to determination)... helped me, the outsider looking in...... SO THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.

When someone reaches out to help one person... it touches so many more.

Oh.. and surgery date... July 17, and I CAN'T WAIT for my life to change.

Yay, Stelina!!! So happy to hear such positive news. I read in your tone how happy you feel to finally be validated! Sounds like you've got a good doc. Keep healing, and keep us posted!

One of the best updates ever! Glad to hear it! It will be great to tackle the actual problem instead of sticking a bandaid over it and hoping you'll go away. Palliative care is for the almost dead, not for young otherwise healthy people.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
