Not a great end of a year or a beginning

On October 25, while cleaning my shop, I moved a metal creeper and leaned it against something. As I turned around, the creeper fell hit my left leg and cause a good size evasion (flap of skin) about 6 inches long and 3 inches wide. Well it still is not healed after almost 4 months later, so my family doctor sent me to a wound care doctor. My last two P.S.A. (Prostate blood level) were high, so I had a biopsy done. It came back as a low to moderate amount of cancer. OH, it gets better. On January 26 I loaded my pick up truck with a bunch of scrap steel to take to the dump. As I jumped off the tailgate, my left foot got stuck and I fell on my back onto the shop concrete floor. With extreme pain, I got a X-ray which I was told I have a fracture of T-12 (12th vertebra of my spine). Each week I go to a wound care doctor, the urologist has not schedule the prostate surgery because I have to have a pre-op exam, and, get the OK from my cardiologist, and still waiting on what can be done with the vertebra fracture. I can't sleep in our bed so my nights and days are spent in my recliner with a heating pad watching re-runs Andy Griffith , MASH and the car channel. This is NOT fun. Hey, I am not telling all of this for sympathy. It is just to let you know if you come over and I don't get up to greet you, or if the phone rings a long time, it's because I am have a hell of a time getting up to answer it. Or if you ask us, or me, out to lunch or dinner, I may have to say NO. It is not that I am mad at you, it is because it hurts to walk, sit, ride or drive. Yes, I have meds for pain and muscle spasms, but unless I want to get hooked on an opioid drug, I only take one if the pain gets unbearable. Getting old and getting hurt is not fun. Many people tell me I don't act like I am 72 year old and that I am more active than most my age, but believe me... I feel like 90 right now. I am sure I'll heal up fine, but now, I don't see the proverbial 'light at the end of the tunnel', just more doctor appointments. Stay safe, don't do dumb stuff and stay healthy.
