Broken Bones

As usual, another delay. Amazed these days that the delays are more due to things related to cancer than to ADHD or Asperger’s. Today’s delay comes courtesy of the bone damage from the cancer, and as I have said in the past, damage occurred as early as my twenties. Today’s particular delay is related to my broken and unrepairable sternum. It’s cracked in half and clicks and buckles depending on what i do.

Yes. It’s danged unpleasant, and today it hurts right through the medication I take to keep my bones from hurting. It’s an interesting pain - more scary than hurt. I don’t know how else to describe it. It makes me wonder how many people get this kind of fracture. And as usual, instead of finding things reassuring, I am finding things to scare me. Like the symptoms associated with bone breakdown - hypercalcaemia, too much calcium in the blood, which causes dehydration and why have I been so thirsty the past few weeks?

More later. Meanwhile here is the PAGE I was reading about those symptoms - it’s user friendly. I’m going to collect these pages on yet another page so you and I can find them easily.
