Each step I take is painful these days. The Doctors says I have a spinal problem which causes pressure on the nerves exiting the base of my spine. Doctors also say there's nothing they can do. They can give me pain pills but A. It's not healthy to take them over long periods of time and B. They become less effective the more you take, so I'd need to take an ever increasing quantity. They tell me at some point it's likely I'll become incontinent, Yay!
So yes it'd be easy to feel sorry for me. Wallow in self pity, but truthfully, when I when start to head down that road, I feel guilt. I think about so many folks much worse off then me. I can still walk, even though painful, I wonder how many people who can't walk would give anything, just to be able to walk again, even with the pain.
All in all I've had a pretty good life, wonderful Wife, good kids, grand kids just now learning to walk and deal with entirety of their life to come.
It's just I've always been the person to fix other people's problems, I guess now I'm afraid of becoming the problem.
