My Body is Falling Apart

I had my six-month check up at the doctor yesterday. My iron is still a little low, but apart from that, I am doing okay. My foot and ankle hurt and it’s painful to walk. I also have a cataract in my left eye and one forming in my right.

I had a good visit with my therapist. I cried and explained how bad I’ve been feeling. She got me an appointment with my psychiatrist to adjust meds later this week. My grief has really made me struggle with my depression. I don’t know what we can try, but I know I need some help to get myself out of the funk I’m in.

The orthopedic doctor wants me to get new orthotics. He’s very reluctant to suggest surgery because he’s afraid the incisions won’t heal. I’m basically stuck hurting to walk or wear shoes. I suppose I’ll shell out the cash for new orthotics and see if they make a difference.

My knees hurt because I hyper flexed them a few months ago. Most days I do fine, but sometimes they feel like they’ll just give out from under me. I’ll probably end up in a wheelchair before too long, lol.
