All of my stupid health issues! [View all]

I have brittle bones. Currently, I am suffering from not one, but two compression fractures. They are very painful. I just have to endure them until they heal. I have a home health aide and a husband who helps a lot. I cannot make good decisions while I am in this much pain.

I have fluid on my lung which is going to be removed. The complication is that I have a blood clot on my lung. I will have to stop blood thinners for a short time. This frightens me. I think I have a good pulmonologist. The first one was terrible.

I am not looking for medical advice, just support and prayers. I still have things to do in this world. I may be 75 years old, but my small steps can be added to others to help save our democracy.
