So went to the hospital yesterday...

I'm suffering from
-Pleurisy
-Bronchitis
-Degenerative Disk Disease (Lumbar)
-Right Leg Pain

So about 5 days ago now, my right leg crapped out on me. Hurts to even think of putting any weight/pressure on it. So I've been limping around and about 3 days ago I bought a cane to make it easier to walk around. Yesterday while walking home on my break from work I had a sharp pain in my chest that kinda caused me to panic a little so I went to the hospital to get checked out

Turns out my lungs are swollen and inflamed, from the lungs themselves to the lining of my lungs. It hurts to breath and I spend most of my day coughing. My spine is screwed as well. The Degenerative Disk Disease basically means that one or more of the disks that sits between the bones of my spine have been shredded/torn open and the liquids(proteins etc) inside have flooded out across my nerves. The Disk itself is meant as a cushion between bones and without it there...well, think of two rocks grinding together and then put them in your back against your nerves and then pour some acid on top.

It hurts. REALLY badly.

So I'm on four different types of medication, forced to miss two days of work, and don't know what I am going to do. My leg will recover in time. The Bronchitis should go away eventually and the Pleurisy will eventually fade. But my back is forever screwed. I apparently was born with this condition and it only gets worse with age.
