She has fibromyalgia, lupus, degenerative disk disease, carple tunnel, some kind of neuroma on her foot, she needs knee replacement surgery, a pinched nerve that makes her leg go numb if she stands for longer than 10 min... and the list goes on! I cant even remember all the things she has wrong with her! Im so happy for her because I heard that a lot of these things she has will go away. Her doc said that if she didnt lose weight somehow, she would be in a wheelchair in 5 years. No insurance companies will insure her, except Medicare or whatever, and theyre paying for the hospital portions of surgery. The rest is out of pocket. Anyways, Im so excited for her, I cant wait to see her happier and healthier!
