The Doctors Diagnosis ... When Youth Begins To Fade

When reality hits, it hits hard ..... I had an visit at the Doctors ...

This week had a series of doctors visits and here's what I ended up with by Friday before Noon....

At 26 years old, despite some great feats accomplished, I am coming face to face with the reality of ones Health and that I won't be young forever ...

• When I visited the optometrist found out my vision is getting worst, and what I used to be able to see, I can't see anymore without assistance.  Also my blood vessels are enlarged in my eyes and that could be a problem later on ...
• Had X rays in the middle of the week .... then had them examined
• I have an early onset of Arthritis in my spine
• Spinal compression and degeneration in C1-C2 vertebrae
• One vertebrae is compressed into my shoulders almost disappearing
• Nerve compression within my spinal cord
• One leg is 1/4 inch off from the other causing nervous system damage, not to mention my shoes wear out funny on my heels
• The list goes on and on and on ....

Now, looks like I have to go into real "REHAB" for my spinal cord ....

I'm too young for this type of medical drama ....

Mentally I am still soaking it all in and to top it off I find out right before my vacation ...

To be continued ....

It sounds not good in your age.. I will pray for you that you will have courage to start exercise, rest more and maybe just live by the grace from God!!
