.....Feeling frustrated, endlessly.....

 
 


Within the past three years, life hasn't been smooth for me. The after effects of the serious malady that had afflicted me in November 2013, are still being felt. The diagnosis of another chronic ailment at that same time, had also brought along with it many awful side effects. I find that I'm forever afflicted with chronic pain now, and my legs, especially, seem to be the main problem. They feel heavy at times and  at other times they feel significantly weak.

My confidence level has also nose-dived so much. So much so I find that I can no longer go about anywhere on my own. I most definitely need someone to be my escort, all the time. Also, it's been a couple of years since I last drove a car. I have almost forgotten how to drive one actually! It's sad, isn't it?

Another issue that really bugs me is this ever-expanding girth of mine. It's really damn awful! And having to down a 'cocktail' of medications for my condition on a daily basis, is another pain in my arse! It really is the pits!

In short, my life really SUCKS, man! Honestly!
