It is currently a brisk 29 degrees F here locally but the sun is shining. Still have a foot plus of snow in the yard but at least its off the driveway.
I discovered something called an electric shovel that kinda works like a snow blower but its the size of a snow shovel. Runs off a battery.. SOOOOOoooooooooo I think I am gonna go git me one at the local store for the next snow event.. I am not supposed to be doing snow removal per several of my physicians and my arthritic spine and pelvis won't take kindly to that either. So I think this may be a small solution..
Having another Orthopedic doc with a different more prominent group of them which is highly recommended by the Cleveland Clinic to look at my MRI and talk about some actual solutions like grinding it off or Fusing the SI Joint to the hip.
Of all the things to inherit from one's father mine had to be his horrible osteo arthritis. I do not want to wind up like him but am headed that way.
I need this taken care of so I can walk over in Turkey this summer. This is a lifetime dream to walk in the footsteps and paths of the Apostles John, and Paul and Barnabus. To see early Churches Paul and Silas had started like in Ephesus for example.. John's home where he took MARY after the crucifixion.
Hopefully this orthopedist can help me.. Simply by grinding off that arthritis would be a huge start.. Outpatient surgical procedure.
Not interested in just taking one pain pill after another.. I take enough heart medicine already..
So I won't mind sharing that with him. I'm not the least bashful about speaking up and correcting them when they just made a guess.
So hopefully he will listen. I'm interested in a FIX that is the cause of the problem, NOT taking masking medicines and living on pills.
You can tell what's on my mind more than anything else.. Sorry for the repetition.
