Posted on 2024 09 14, revised on 2024 09 15 ... added 2 things I deal with which I'd forgotten to mention 'cause they've been around since childhood (S10) and late teens (S5)... 




The Daily Deal (revised)

 

- prompted from feeling like I have to prove to some that I'm struggling to move... 'cause apparently accommodating someone could cause some to feel it's unfair...  yeah, can't say that I get that one...

 

 

Here's what I'm dealing with :

 

In my left hip, there's a split in

The labrum which the hip bone

Rubs, stretches and irritates at

Each step that I take in a day;

Hasn't healed in seven years.

 

In my left knee, I sprained

The interior ligament in my

Sleep which hasn't healed

Yet and it's been four years.

 

In my right shoulder, there's

A subscapular tendinopathy I

Somehow caused in my sleep,

Which has managed to heal,

But remains pretty fragile.

 

In my right index finger, I

Sprained another ligament

Very recently while playing

Guitar, so it's to be seen if

This one will come to heal.

 

In my left wrist, there's a

Sizeable cyst in between the

Ligaments that sometimes

Paralyzes the use of my hand.

But for both wrists, it's just

Impossible to apply weight.

 

In my right hip, started to

Appear some pain like my

Left one started years ago,

Not sure if it's another split,

But it sure feels like it is.

 

In my back and my knees,

There's recently stiffness

Which is feeling pretty tight,

That's a new thing settling in.

 

I also occasionally get bouts

Of costochondritis which

Causes painful inflammation

Of the cartilage around the

Rib cage and the sternum.

 

And throughout all of my

Joints, there's an intermittent

Shooting pain in the bones

Of my limbs or localized

Throbbing, without movement.

 

There's also the fragile state 

Of my blood vessels which

Causes bruises and hematomas of

Impressive sizes at the slightest

Pressure on skin, it's all very sore.

 

Consequently, the more I move these

Parts, the more irritation it causes me

And a lot of inflammation, too.

There really isn't a moment in my

Body that doesn't hurt, it's always.

 

So, going places for no reason

Isn't something I can do lightly,

And I'm not exaggerating when I

Say that moving is very painful.

 

There's a very limited number of

Places I can get myself to weekly,

And going over it is always a risk,

So it's not to be awkward, it's

Just the reality of my situation.

I don't know how to respond to this. It's horrible. Saying that I'm sorry, though I am, seems incredibly trite.

Oh, Isabelle, my deepest compassion. And my mom has costochondritis, and it's no fun. Sending all my most ardent thoughts and wishes for healing and health.
