I have to say, being in remission is the greatest feeling in the world. I also have to say that I am not immune to other "getting older" ailments, but compared to the "Big C" everything pales in comparison.
I had a problem with my aging left shoulder recently, not C related whatsoever, so it isn't noteworthy, but it was really painful. Calcified tendonitis, was the diagnosis and it seemed like the pain was neverending. No movement possible and even though on pain pills, still hurt to move it even inches in any direction. I had one helluva time getting into see a physician, much less an orthopedic specialist. I now believe what they are saying about a shortage of doctors.
A solid week later, I received a shot of cortisone and felt like it was a miracle cure. I know it is temporary, but I needed some relief. Now surgery is on the table sometime before the end of the year. Ho hum...at least I'm not having chemo!
