Off the Record

Our computer is being dumb and consequently I have been cut off from the internet for quite some time. Sara had to come to the library to study tonight, so I cam with and thus I am back on my blog. I hope all of you are doing well. I wager you are doing better than I. I am currently sitting in my wheelchair because my three long leg bones have started dying (at least in the right leg). This is a result of being on prednisone for so long. My knee is in alot of pain. In addition, my back still has compression fractures, in fact I have more fractures. My back is also in a lot of pain. So much pain that my doctors are thinking about putting in a device that releases morphine directly into my spine. This uses less medicine, has fewer side effects, and could cut my pain by more than half. There would be a surgery to implant the sucker, but I think my BMT docs might go for it.
I have also been experiencing some kidney troubles, but it look like they are starting to get better. I hope.
Hopefully I will be able to get back on soon. Please leave comments if you want, I would love to hear from you.

Love,
JJ
