Lots of things and nothing really. I was extremely active and then I suffered an infection in my back that did not impact my blood tests enough to catch it for years until I fell because of the muscles helping to bring my legs under me failing. Surgery, antibiotics, antibiotics, antibiotics, physical therapy, doubled my weight.... I'm doing martial arts again but sometimes things fail. It's more my right side so I can't take a right side falls without weird things happening. It caused my left knee to collapse once trying to take up the strain. I did aikido and then went to do japanese sword after sitting in between and my sword did not draw. I said move and nothing happened. There's no pain for most of these things so I'm left going what did I do wrong? Shifted my left foot back trying to gain some distance to my right just on instinct but that's not correct. Oh..... the right side of my back failed. Have to go stretch that out again. My running hard trails with my dog was walking 1 mile but it's up to 5 over this past year. I feel both like I accomplished something and just how sad that is compared to the past. I can't really make friends because all the activities I'd like to share with someone I can't do at the level of anyone who equally enjoys them. Can't balance my mountain bike anymore and I need to put a handle on my kayak to pull myself out because the only way out of it since my back can't pull my legs under me is to fall out. So I do lots of stuff still but none of it particularly well anymore. It's kind of taken things from hobby level to things I throw myself into in order to not go crazy sitting in the house.
