I have been away for health reasons. I am a Vietnam Combat Veteran subjected to Agent Orange.
The Dioxin has been taking its toll on me for over ten years. I have had surgery on my right leg to replace deteriorated veins, surgery was in 2011. I have had ischemic heart disease and in 2015 had a heart attack. In December 2015 I had two toes amputated. November 2015 my.kidneys failed and I was admitted to the hospital. My.kidneys are working but at a lower capacity. In February.2016 I was diagnosed with Syncope and I have been in the hospital for falling. One of the falls damaged the nerves in the left leg so my left foot does not work properly. In June of this year I was rushed from Dover, De to VAMC Philadelphia because the veins in my left leg had deteriorated. I was operated on and sent home. In August I was again rushed out VAMC Philadelphia, the surgery in June failed. Also in August the doctors found one of the bones from the amputated toes is trying to come from the bottom of my right foot. I am currently housebound
I have assimilated into society as just another woman
I.came back to Big Closet to enjoy myself. I haven't written any thing for a while but my own health problems can be.good.topics to create fictional stories about.
Since I cannot drive for a while I decided to write again.
On 17 September it will be three.years since my GRS. A moment where my life became tolerable.
