I never can catch a break...

















Hey Everyone

So, heres a couple updates and stuff


so about a year ago this coming october I had knee surgery it was a tibial tubrical shift and a lateral release. When they went in they also had to cut my tibia, did an scope of my knee, and then put pins in to hold my knee cap in place. After my surgery i had about 50 stiches outside and 20 inside. When i got to go home i had to not walk for days and also have my leg in this physical therapy machine thing where it would slowly bend my knee for me trying to gain the muscle back. The night of my surgery i was in a ton of pain and got up to get pain medication, i fell because i also had a nerve block and forgot about it due to me being so gone, and i was rushed to the emergency room ebcause i had torn my stiches open. After that i was slowly recovering and everything went smoothly- but it was painful. About a month after, i was coming home from a funeral in a snow storm and by this time i could walk without my crutches which was amazing. I ended up slipping on some snow and i broke my tibia. The ambulance was called and i was in the emergency room once again, this was by far the most painful expierence i have ever been through. I went back twice due to the pain was so bad and i had developed cushings syndrome where the swelling was so bad it was life threatening. I was then fired from my job, and had to drop out of school. I was out and on medical assistance and GA for about 7 months while i recovered. I had to relearn how to walk, stand up, go to the bathroom ,everything that people take for granted day to day, and even me, Now that im recovered i take it for granted. Well okay most recently, on thursday July 19th i went to my orthopaedic surgeon for a check up just mainly because i have started having pain in both of my legs, mostly a dull ache, and it gets worse at night, and sometimes shooting pain in my right and left. He took x-rays of both legs, and it appears i had torn my meniscus in my left leg (surgery leg) and will need an MRI to see if surgery is required. He then asked me if I had ever had issues with my right until then. I said no, not that i remember. It turns out i have a tumor on my femur coming from my bone marrow. He scheduled me for 2 MRIs on monday morning, the biggest concern right now is that it could be cancer, a very good chance it is cancer. A type of sarcoma is what he is thinking. So, now i have all weekend to worry about this, and then i will know my results middle of the week. I am worried mostly about the financial stuff involved with it, my mom took out insurance for me from aflack , accident and cancer insurance. If the tumor is bengin then i will need to have it removed and a possible bone graft, as well as get my left knee repaired again if it needs surgery. I will have to put my life on pause once again, and i just dont want to have to go through this again. I do have the best support though, my friends and family have been there for me in the past and will be this time around. I couldnt do this without you. Tonight i went to Zumba , it was a great work out and i enjoyed every second of it, I have a bad feeling this was the last night of zumba for me for a long time, because who knows what where i will be in 2 weeks.
