I am pretty close to the end of my rope. The pain from my right hip just hangs on day after day. Most pills do not help. I take on that helps a little, but I am trying not to use it, because it is addictive.

I have an appointment coming up with a pain managing clinic. I will see what they can do for me. Meanwhile, I need to step up my doctor suggested exercises to strengthen my body for surgery.

I have decided that I will keep the names of who are close friends on RallyPoint, and ask them to help in the sale of my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of life. Keep coming back to see the progress on that book. Better yet, go to the top of this page and click on Subscribe. When you do all future posts will go directly to your inbox.

I am going through Physical Therapy twice a week for a damaged right hip. It s very painful, and hard to do the exercises. I keep plowing into it though, because I know it is better for me. I will be having replacement in a few months.

I wish it could be done now, but the doctor is backed up pretty far.

Do you have to stay at your post if you are injured? I was told yes, while deployed to South Korea. I was working on hill 468 one day and the equipment stopped running. I went out to check the generator and it was out of gas. The person before me was supposed to fill it.

I got some gas containers and climbed up on the generator. I was pouring gas into the generator when I slipped. All I could grab to break my fall was the manifold. It was super hot and it burned my left hand tremendously. I went back inside the hut and tried to bandage the wound. I had some ointment and spread it on the hand that was severely burnt. I wrapped it up with some gauze.

It was extremally painful. What should I do? I could have called down to the headquarters and sought help. However, I didn’t want to mess up the working schedule. I lived in pain and finished my shift.

Was I a hero? Of course not, but I was gratified that I didn’t make things worse.

I saw the medics when I got down to the camp, and they put much better dressings on my hand. I only lost a couple of days of work.
