CLUTCH

I posted this on Facebook for my friends here where I live...Here's my boohoohoo story...Here a very condensed version of part of my life. I start at twelve because that seems to be the age that I really became aware of the world and sought to find meaning for all that was around me and what was happening to me. This exercise is really for me. You see it’s a cathartic for me because this way I have no secrets and it makes me feel truly alive. Maybe this is what you feel when you accept Jesus into your life; seems comparable. You may think differently, but remember that I said this was for me. Maybe I can finally say that I'm an earth rocker!When I was about 12, I started noticing that my body ached all the time. I thought well I guess everyone must feel this way since everyone told me that they all had aches and pains.When I was about 14 my hands hurt really badly and my lower back began troubling me. Still I didn't know what or why this was happening.When I was 16, I went to a doctor to see what was wrong with my back. He told me I either had a birth defect or had a degenerative bone disease. Oh, would the good news never cease. Then he said the only thing that would help me was surgery. I wasn't going to have anything to do with that. Shit, I was only 16! Anyway, I didn't have the surgery.After I graduated high school, I joined the Air Force. I had to fudge a little to get in, but I never once went to see a doctor about my back while I was enlisted. I did see one about my hands. I worked using my hands. I had to type nearly all day. It was killing my hands. After seeing the doctor, I was sorely disappointed. He accused me of trying to get out of my job. I tried to explain, but to no avail. So I never mentioned it again.Only after my first back surgery in 2000 did a doctor recognize something unusual. He sent me to a dermatologist thinking it might be lupus. Well, the dermatologist says it's not lupus. Holy shit, I'm thinking again. He sends me to a rheumatologist and they do a blood test, even though they take one look at me and tell me what they think is wrong, and my ANA is positive. Well, at first I think, guess its lupus. But hold on, from the appearance and thickness of my skin and because of my achy joints, they think its scleroderma and advanced. I didn't know what to think. I didn't even know what that was, but after checking it out... holy shit again! I won't say what I really thought since it would be even more profane, if such a thing exists.It's really funny how everything's turned out. I turned to alcohol after hearing about the scleroderma and nearly killed my fool self. After recovering from that, my skin softened up. My rheumatologists couldn't explain what had happened and still can't. Serendipity my friends. Pure serendipity.As of now, my story isn't complete I'm still working on it. Also, I give thanks for every new day.I'm so grateful to have Jan, my wife, in my life. She keeps me grounded. I'll love her forever.I'm truly a blessed man.
