Osteo Left Me Damaged

Year Condition Began: 1959


I will keep this short...because the last time I typed it...it did not post.

I got osteo when I was 5. I lived in Weisbaden, Germany and went through 5 I&Ds on right leg and hip...many casts & braces & built up shoes. Osteo left me with a 3 1/2" difference in my legs (that was the damage).

Junior year in high school...my left femur was shortened 2"...so now I'm only 1 1/2" off.

I wear no built-up shoe...I use crutches to get around now...to help take pressure off my hips and legs. I have pains that do not go away...and never will...but I grin and bear it...and keep smiling.

There's so much I haven't written...but, I will answer any questions.
