Then and Now

A year ago I was running 40 miles every month.  Granted, I always felt like I'd been run over by a truck afterward but I was out on the streets moving.

Today my life can be summed up in a blue badge...

Lovely, isn't it?

While one part of me is elated, knowing that saved steps equates to reduced pain, the other part of me is extremely depressed, realizing that this is what my life has become.  I am an old person.  My mental well-being seriously rests on the success of this surgery.
