doctors

well i made it to yet another Dr appointment... to only find out that I have to go and see and orthopedic Doc for my hip & back now. So on Sept 29th I have an appointment to see and Ortho Doc. My primary Doc said i have "Severe Arthritis" in both my left hip ( the one that hurt 99.9% of the time) and my lower back. That ALSO there is no cartilage left in either places....so now I'm just wondering what's going to happen.... they say life begins at 40??!! I don't think so.... I know MORE Dr appointments begin then... so we'll see what happens in t6he next few weeks. At least I have some pain meds I can take for when my hip/back get too bad for me.
