In August of last year, I broke my left wrist, elbow, arm, leg and hip...sleepwalking. The leg was the worst since I had snapped the ball off the top of my femur. They installed a couple of screws in the bone in an attempt to save the femur. I have a plate in my elbow too that prevents me from straightening my left arm. They were concerned that my femur could "die" but I thought I would be back to normal by Christmas. Wrong again TJ!
I didn't have insurance so I couldn't afford followup X-rays, rehab or doctor visits. I survived with only 40 pain killers for more than a year. Since I was sent home, I've been on my own to deal with it.
I rode a bicycle to strengthen the leg. It didn't seem to help. I still do squats daily too but my leg is getting weaker. I already had nearly no ass, now it's just gone. They told me that I would need hip replacement if my femur died and I'm afraid it may have done it. I don't have the money to go in for X-rays to find out either. I'm seriously tired of hurting all the time. Feeling pretty useless and ready to quit breathing up your oxygen. I can't work, can't get any help....I'm just at the end of this rope.
I'm not suicidal...so no need to pick me up. I'm just feeling defeated right now. I guess I just need to vent because I don't have anyone to talk to most of the time. I'll tough it out. Don't worry about me!

Containment
Stupidity is going to be our downfall. "Containing" a possible disease outbreak has got to be taken more seriously. At this time, there is no reason to panic about ebolavirus. Admittedly, I was angry when I heard that they brought an infected doctor to Atlanta. The key to that success was, they kept it contained. Everything was fine, no outbreak.
Another infected person comes to Dallas on a commercial airline and 4 days later goes to a hospital with symptoms. He notifies them that he just came from Liberia, he's given antibiotics and sent home. 4 more days later, they finally got around to testing and confirming that he is carrying ebola. 80 people now under observation, including his family and school kids.
Authorities "quarantine" his family, but don't enforce it. Family members break the quarantine so authorities place armed guards to prevent further possible spread. That's where we are now but I'll bet we end up with more cases. Now is the time to get serious about containment! It's got to stop or we'll have another plague on our hands. Hysteria and panic won't help, calm and smart moves are what are needed.
