Let's just say 2008 hasn't been all that great to me.
I spent most of the year in horrible back pain and the depression that it had cast me into and now...
*drumroll*
The official return of my old friend osteochondritis dessicans. Good old O.D.! I loves you so!
Yay!
You can plainly see the oh so exciting shadowy lesion on the distal end of my right femur where the cartilage, itself invisible in an x-ray, has separated from the bone.
I'll be having an MRI next week and I just have a gut feeling, based on the recent pain, that there will be surgery again in my near future.
This'll be the 4th surgery for the same thing.
1982, 1984, 1988, and now 2008.
I wish I could go kill a moose or something.
That would probably make me feel better.
*grimace* Ewww and ouch. Good luck with that.
Sorry to hear ... good luck getting through it.
Christ - that is very, very uncool. Between this and the back pain, it sounds like you need some serious time off of the remodeling...
(Although I worry that the commenters might take it upon themselves to fix up the house... less "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" and more "The one where Homer builds the Flanders a new home." ^_^)
