Injuries and Losing My Mind - Omniscient - Mar 9, 2016
Only posting this because it does effect HF support response time and support quality. I figured to be up-front about what I am dealing with.
1. I have a sty in my eye that's effected how well I can see. Sometimes I get a headache after just an hour or two of being online and HF requires a lot more time than that.
2. I have a double inguinal hernia. This is likely caused by my rigorous workout activity and kickboxing. Was small a year ago but has become larger and I am considering surgery. Right now it's mainly cosmetic in nature but could easily become a medical emergency. You can do some Wiki searching for more info on the type of hernia I have. Still deciding if and when I will have surgery. Not an easy decision considering I've never had a surgery.
3. I have Morton's Neuroma. This is from a water skiing accident I had a couple years ago now. The accident hurt my legs really badly and I was limping for weeks. That limp caused me to have nerve pain and eventually more permanent damage. I wear special shoes now but generally speaking my feet are almost always in pain. I had a steroid shot yesterday which goes directly into the nerve of the foot and it hurt like hell. It could potentially permanently fix the foot or it might return to being painful in a few weeks or months. I may require surgery for this to be correctly fixed. Doing all I can to avoid that option but it is on table.
4. I somehow injured me knee, not sure how or when. Likely it was kickboxing but last week it began to feel a bit sore then in a couple day it swole up. Yesterday I had it drained by the doctor. They pulled 90ml of liquid directly out of the knee and I need an MRI done to figure out what type of injury I actually have. Could be overuse but could also be something torn.
So I'm 46 and basically falling apart. Oddly I feel pretty good internally and with energy but unfortunately mentally feeling like this is taking toll on me.
One side-effect of a steroid shot is rage fits.

Feel like I'm losing my cool today a lot easier than I have in the past. Then in 15 minutes I'm calm again.
Not sure how long till all these health issues past. It is what it is.

Thanks for the update. Hope you feel better soon. Best of luck with your recovery.
EDIT: First time surgery is always a tough decision, but it's better to do it sooner than later. The older you get, the longer it will take for you to heal and recover.

If you haven't or don't regularly go to a chiropractor, try it out once. I know done people see it as a load of shit but I always love it, feels fantastic afterwards.

Good luck with your surgery if you decide to do it.

Life can really throw a good curveball sometimes. Hoping you can avoid as many surgeries as possible. Take care.

What's stopping you from getting surgery? Is it fear or just the recovery time?
Obviously I'm just some random 18 year old so I know nothing about what it's like to be in your 40's with all of these issues, but if the only thing holding you back from getting the surgery is fear then go for it, but if it's due to medical complications it's a different matter
Don't worry about the rage fits, this forum is pretty fucking rage inducing - and people know you as the firm but fair owner, so don't feel like you're coming across as an angry old man
