I was also diagnosed a few years ago with Degenerative Disc Disorder (DDD), Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD) and oseoarthritiss. At the end of 2008, I had Metacarpophalangeal Joint Arthrodesis (the main joint of the large toe on my right foot was fused). Soon I will need to have the same procedure on my left foot. Recovery is slow, and I will never be able to walk normally again. (ie; big toe doesn't bend)
Yesterday I had a very simple, very typical eye exam. Either during the eam, or on the way home, my cornea was scratched. Sounds simple, but hurt like hell! The next the dr. put a contact on my eye (covers the cornea so it doesn't get irritated when I blink). So, just another irritant in the life of Winston Smith.
So, if I live long enough, my joints and discs will continue to deteoriate. Now if i can just get my MI to cooperate, and occur between ailments, I should have a very full slate.
Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but I think it's important to see the whole picture so you'll know where I am coming from.
Ciao,
WCS
Oh yeah ... I might lose my job soon.
