Thank you for sharing your story. Acceptance and adaptation to the new life is not easy. I am in that process. I love how you say “ I have OA, OA does not have me”. You are inspiring. I am in the grief acceptance period as I can’t work anymore and needing a walker or cane at 40’s is hard mentally, but working on not letting the condition and daily pain control me. Life has many daily gifts to be grateful for. ❤
OA takes away the things that give us joy, I used to love to run..I've had one hip and a knee replaced working on my second knee..hopefully can go on walks again.
Yes. And what do we do, in this health system, where doctors just try to get people out of the clinic as quick as possible. I have struggled a year to even get a diagnosis, never mind getting any help. "Yeah you're old eh, do some stretches ok bye!"
I am much, much younger, and get no accommodation or help from OA. OA has me and I've been bullied by able-bodied older people into doing things they can do, that I cannot do.
Such a lovely lady and such a nice attitude towards life and its challenges.
