Hi Vsamples, I did have osteonecrosis which I finally had resolved two years ago with a day-long surgery and several follow-ups. Neuropathy in various sectors finally either worked themselves out or I just plain got so used to it it goes unnoticed. But I am almost 22 years out now. At six years it was still a battle. I hear you. The creepy-crawlies on the face, neck, and arms, I think the CIA should adapt as information extraction tools.
We walk this world a bit broken and as we meet people or associates we think that everyone else is doing just fine. So when they ask how we are doing we say we are fine or coping or on-the-mend and we give a pirate smile as best we can do. And later we go home and cry a bit over self pity until we realize that many people have issues and hopefully ours will get better. And speaking for myself, they do get better.
I wish for you improvement day by day, year by year. Enjoy life best you can. Maybe not ride a bull named Fu Man Chu but at least watch someone else do that crazy thing. In time (years) it should all get better. Stay on this forum and help others I hope. Keep in touch.
