I have not been on here much lately. Just reaching out to those who need help and support in tough times. Life is a long journey full of heartaches and headaches plus happiness too a long the way. In tough times step back and try and think of the good moments, hard I know. It is not easy.
I struggle daily too, but I just manage to keep on moving and pushing the past behind me. Music is my healer.
My body holds on to calcium and this causes issues as it ends up sticking on tendons, ligaments and glands and calcifying them. In recent year I had both achilles tendons cut off lengthened and reattached as the calcium was turning them slowly to soft bones. Same with my left shoulder tendon, plus the cream on the cake the calcium is wrapping around my optic nerves, which causes my blurry vision and headaches.
Just last week I had an MRI and my left shoulder tendons have calcified again, I have had numbness and pain in left arm for 4 months. Monday I have a cortisone injection that will mask the pain , which will be a relief but I know that eventually I will need to have key hole surgery to repair the tendon and remove bone spurs.
At times I feel down, but the message I want to share is try and see the better side of life. Otherwise we will all go crazy worrying about things we can not control. 2 weeks ago my oldest son got married, leading up to the wedding I was unhappy, borderline depressed and not looking forward to it. I had to dig deep and make sure I enjoyed the day, which I did, I had a wonderful time and also ended up giving a speech.
Sure I will slowly drop back into a sad state on and off , but I just wanted to share that something can lift us, life is very up and down. Try and find those up moments.
All the best to all the wonderful people in the kennel
