Hi. Sorry for not updating the blog. I have quite grim news.

In Monday, April 6, I was visiting a famous professor of orthopedics in my country. He told me that my spine is irreversibly damaged. The places that should be stable, are unstable (joints between spine and pelvis), and places that should be flexible (intervertebral joints) are now synostoses. I hoped for a surgery with the insertion of titanium implants to stabilize my spine, but the professor said it would be difficult or even impossible (after two spinal surgeries I have a large cicatrix on the back of my spine).

And the worst thing: this disability my jeopardize my work as a doctor, at least in surgical specialties. It's end of the world for me. Or maybe there would happen some miracle, who knows... Professor told me to buy a corset and a shoe insole (my left led is cslightly shorter than right, after the fracture). He ordered me some gymnastics. Now I'm struggling with buying those things in the time of epidemics...
