Over the years we all accumulate our health caused limitations. I have just a few. Due to thyroid cancer, I have no thyroid and am dependent on a daily pill for the rest of my life. And with any decongestant I have to ask the pharmacist if I can take them because they often say do not take if you have 'thyroid disease' so I need to clarify.
Breast cancer left with left arm lymphedema so no shots, blood pressure cuffs, IVs, or any pressure on my left arm. So when I had surgery last week, I had an IV on my right wrist and a blood pressure cuff above it.
I also have two bad knees, a bad back, bursitis in my hips, etc that try to slow me down.
But a royal pain in the ass is my knee brace. I am so limited right now in what I can do. I can't drive. My other knee has started hurting. I am stuck at home. I am whiney and frustrated.
This too shall pass. I hope I get the green light to drive tomorrow and a different brace that actually fits.
But if its not one thing, its another. Our health conspires to limit us. We just need to ignore it and work around our limitations and keep going.
I just needed to whine. Sorry.
