Overall my doctor was pleased with my new leg just 6 more months until the 24/7 soreness is supposed to go away, he 1st said 90 days but a year is what everyone that got what I did says, I laughed at his 90 day comment. We finally got the ct scan set up trying to see the cause of my weight loss now 55 lbs. I just have no appetite anymore.
 

Hi Wayne, do you have a prosthetic leg? I know it would take some time to get used to it. I hope the time goes quickly for you. I also hope they can figure out why you have no appetite. I hope you eat something still. I went through a time without one but it came back after I started making myself eat. Much good luck to you with everything!
 
Thank you much! Just a metal knee and cap. More tests starting Friday 1100 MRI, I eat just not much as before 6'1" tall 198 lbs was 255 lbs I went from a 42 pants to a 34-32! Then an endoscopic and colon testing already on my schedule. I still do not trust my new leg totally is a huge issue I have also. All that I have talked to says it will be about a year recovery I am about half way there. During the weight loss I also have lost much muscle also.

At a pretty low point at the moment. I could give all the details, but I've spoken enough about my situation. Saw the doctor, and I have some pills to help me sleep. It's not even tomorrow that bothers me, it's next month, a years time, three years time. Since my expectations were shown to be ridiculous folly, I can 't see beyond tonight. I mean, even if this failed completely, I'm not the dating kind. Besides, this is going to go on for a very long time.

Hated accepting the pills, but when you reach a point where you're seeing the sun come up each and every day, you have to call int he cavalry.

Nice to read you're doing well, Wayne. It puts a lot into perspective.

I don't know what you are going through but feel free to post more about it here. I hope things improve for you and you get some good sleep. I take pills to sleep. Many people do. All the best to you.
 
@bingo, May you be comforted.

Hugs to you.
 
I've been lucky, Aside from some weirdness from adding a new medication today I've had 3 solid days of feeling pretty good. And even the new crap seems to have passed. I'm keeping my head high and not dwelling on the bad.

Today is a new day, and that always helps. There's a golden moment, isn't there, when you open you eyes from sleep and you've not really engaged with the world, you're not aware of any problems or issues, that's just glorious. Then - walk the dog and have some tea. :)

Oh yes I hear you. I'm having tea right now too ☕.
 
I'm feeling stressed and hopeful though. I'm dealing with my dog's issues and my car which seems to be a major problem right now. I'm going to take a walk with the doggy. Going to try and relax.
 
I had a few days of 'no worries, mate ', which was great. But today one of those stressors popped up. One of those things you didn't ask for, didn't cause, but there they are anyway to take away your 'no worries, mate' reverie.

It's something I can handle, but I just don't want the stress and aggravation. Something's going on in the commercial property behind me and I need to ask about it and be ready to deal with the answers. It's an ongoing hassle that keeps recurring. Only way to stop it is to move away, and that's too much hassle, and too expensive.

So I'm feeling bummed out.
 
My tinnitus is still with me. It is December I have my ENT appointment, I have no idea for now what is causing it. The MRI must have been clear of anything immediately serious otherwise I would already be in trouble surely.
I am coping with it quite well because overall I feel ok. But I do worry why I suddenly got this along with such dizziness for which I am on Betahistine.

Oh dear, sorry to hear that, it's hard for you. I wish life was just peaceful and people could let people be happy. But I find any peace never lasts long. I suppose we just adapt, find ways to cope.

That can be tough. In a car-heavy society they represent mobility and freedom, even to those for whom a car is just a utility.

Last winter I had battery issues and the inability to expect to just get in and start up was frustrating. Just a simple thing, but I still need to get the darned thing tested and maybe replaced before Arctic conditions return.

Thanks for your post! The car's steering is broken and I hope AAA can get it out of the garage and to the repair shop. I might just junk the car. Depends on if it's fixable. It's an old car.

I hope it turns out to be something simple and cheap to fix. Repair parts can have long delays right now and it is a bad time to buy a car.

Thanks that would be great but I have a feeling it won't be cheap. Nothing is anymore. Oh well, I may start taking cabs again.
 
Still vaguely unsettled here, but thankfully nothing too worrisome. I find that if I can avoid being swept up in things and keep a sense of humor then I'm not doing too badly.

I'm not making fun of this guy, but his self-help videos work for me as a test. I don't even have to watch more than a few minutes to "measure" myself.

It's the poor guy's voice and speech patterns. If I'm a bit messed up his speaking is (a.) like nails on a chalkboard, or (b.) drags me downward in a pit of despair. I don't let myself be dragged down, I click off fast!


Does his voice make your stomach bubble too?
