UPDATE - I'M NOT DEAD YET · 5:08am Dec 26th, 2016
So my spine is getting worse every day, my left leg is starting to give out while my right leg just hurts more and more every day. Breathing is still a battle of willpower and constant reminder that "Breath. OW, BREATH, OW" is just the way life has to be. I've been struggling through work because I have literally no other way to pay my bills but it is getting to near impossible for me to work anymore. If it continues to get worse (which is kind of the thing with this disease) I'll be out of work, I won't be able to pay my bills, and I won't be here anymore.
I'm up to $15,000 in debt to the hospital just for tests and walking in and being told "Yea, you are pretty fucked, here have some pills"
But whenever I can push through the pain and sit in this damned chair and not cry from pain spasms, I've been working on my stories, mostly discovering friendship and its many side stories (and that Applerarishy clopfic I promised) So I hope to be updating soon-ish for you guys.
Dude, I really hope you get better, also I Know firsthand that sometimes best wishes can do so much instead of more direct help, but I really hope you get better, regards from Colombia and get well soon!!
P.S. If you need to talk, give me a holler!
4356012 I appreciate the words, but the only way to get better is Surgery. They have to remove the discs in my spine and replace them and that would only fix the pain. There is a chance I'd never walk again, as it happened to my uncle, which terrifies me to no end. But here's hoping my lungs get better at least
Sounds harsh. I hope you get better. I can't imagine the pain you're in. The most pain I've ever been in was when I had Appendicitis. The doctor said that if Appendicitis had stages, mine would have been a stage 4.
The fact that you have the will to not only keep on working, but keep up your hobbies is amazing! That's a sign that you're strong and that you should keep it up! I don't care what your religious beliefs are, I'm praying for you regardless.
