Week 31, Entry 2

My legs hurt very much, particularly at the hip joints (where the femur meets the socket). I broke down sobbing in my annual review with my case manager, because it all seems so hopeless. I can hardly move, so how am I supposed to get a job? If I can't get a job, how am I supposed to support myself? And if I don't start supporting myself, then how am I supposed to be able to move out? To have even a shred of the life that I want for myself?

I can only walk in small steps across the floor. When I use my cane, my hands and wrists hurt much more. My body is extremely tense and stiff, to the point that I think I am going to have to take more medication soon.

No word back from Physical Therapy yet.
