A friend once told me, "It's tough getting old... I don't recommend it."
Well, I've been feeling old lately. Neck problems, pain in one of my wrists, and now a knee injury.
I've been having increased pain and issues over the years from an old neck injury, that now has resulted over time in two degenerative discs in the base of my neck. Chiropractic, physical therapy, pain injections, medications, none have remedied the problems. So now I am facing surgery.
Then I recently damaged my knee, while climbing stairs in our home. The resultant MRI shows not one, but two tears in my meniscus in my right knee. Now, two surgeries. Problems come in pairs...
I'm praying for healing, but I also know healing can come through the gift of modern medicine. I hope to get healthy again after these, to be about my active lifestyle again.
This has been a pain in the neck...and the knee...
