Explaining My Pain

I found this little graphic on visual.ly.com. What struck me is that I have four out of the five conditions listed. I don't currently have muscle sprain... but I do have the other four.

My Cast of Characters

I'm Heather... and this is my world!
Here's my cast of characters:

My boys are Ryan (31), Cody (27) and Austin (24)
Cody is married to Marquee and they are the parents of Oliver Joel, born on July 23, 2015.

Ryan is engaged to Sara

Austin is the father of Cosette Camille born on April 29, 2015.

A wise woman once told me that mothers of boys get their daughters when their sons are grown. That's been the case for me. I couldn't have raised better daughters than the girls my sons have chosen.
My nieces are Tiffany, Elizabeth, Sarabeth, Jamie and Madeleine
My nephews are Cory, Matthew, Caleb, Joshua and Samuel and Finn
My grand-nephew is Ethan James - aka E.J. and his brother, Adrian
My brothers are Jim, Michael, Bryan and David
Their significant others are Angie, Mechelle, Helen and Katherine.
My parents are Mawmaw and Pop
I try not to embarass my family with TMI on here but it happens.
I live in my parents' house outside of Helen, Georgia.

Cody lives in the house beside the house I grew up in 100 miles south of us.

Ryan lives near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

I have been married twice - once for 14 years, once for 14 months. I'm a great wife, I just don't pick great husbands.
I'm in a loving relationship with a great guy... more about that later...
I have chronic back pain due to degenerative disc disease, bulging discs, spondylolisthesis, osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis.

I have fibromyalgia and an unspecified auto immune disease that causes symptoms similar to lupus (but isn't lupus). I have granulomas - scar tissue- in my lungs that causes frequent bronchitis. I have high blood pressure and tachycardia. I have nerve damage in my lower legs. Post ablation syndrome led to a hysterectomy in 2016. I'm much too young to feel this dang old.
God has a plan. That's what this blog is all about.
P.S. I have cats.
