Hi texken. Pretty heavy pain 'meds'! Personal condolances and best wishes for good situation outcome as possible. I'm told "pain has its own virtue." Obviously from folks 'not' in pain! Hang in there & God bless!
This thread having ‘morphed’ and so some 'moments', sharing!
Now 80 years old and more than bit crippled up. Conjuring many ‘good years’. Heralded positive of ‘age’, as learning experience’. Hopefully wiser! Add, lot of time to sit and conjure my life! Some calculations, realizing with considerable shock my own life pattern. Likely 40% of extra cash & free time, spent ‘boozing & wenching’. Now, retrospect, more than just shocked! Here to preach the ‘error’ of such ways! “Opportunities lost!
Now sharing with all you 70ies & younger “whippersnappers”; lifestyle re-calibration perhaps yet possible! Suggesting time & funds proportioned... 40% booze & 40% wenching, each! The other 40% ‘necessaries funds’, of course exceeding income! Yet solution, in the ‘now’ American lifestyle. “Credit!” Drink, wench, pay bill… Amass debt! Damn! If only I’d realized…!
No disrespect here to disabled/folks with pain! Self-disclosure, “ADA person”, “mobility challenged”. Great wife!’ Booze, very special occasions only, wife "policing moderation”. Joys of ‘senior life choices’, meds or booze. Defaulting to meds! Oh damn!
Here just offering ‘lighter side’ dumb humor moments!
Best!
John
