4krow 3,752 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I hope that it is possible to 'take a breath' every now and then. Been listening to a little Joni Mitchell lately to calm things down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryG 2,757 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Update January 21, 2023 In December I had a 10mm titanium rod Inserted in my left femur. To repair a hole caused by myeloma which had metastasized to my bone. In getting physical therapy things were improving nicely until I injured my right shoulder. Initially, we thought it was a fractured collarbone, but in addition to the clavicle, I have a torn rotator cuff, which put my physical therapy on hold. Suddenly I had New pain in my thigh, which led to x-rays than an MRI on my back. Apparently cancer has metastasized to my to my lumbar vertebrae. In fact, my entire vertebrae, except my neck is affected by the myeloma. The next course of action is daily radiation over the next few weeks to my L4 vertebrae. I am in severe pain and hospitalized for pain management. Anyways, I wanted you guys to know what was going on and why I have been absent for so long. I have been hospitalized since before Thanksgiving. I really want to go home. I realize that my time living alone is limited and will probably will be in assisted-living in the not so distant future. I hope you guys have a great day! BarryG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
