    It is HELL getting OLD!

    Retired May 22, 2020, turn 69 on May 20, 2022!

    Problem is everything seems to be falling apart on my body. Major shoulder surgery in 2020 on my left shoulder, 4 anchors.

    Now, cataract surgery on my right eye but the date is not determined yet.

    Carpal Tunnel and Ulnar elbow surgery on my left arm on May 19th. 6 weeks recovery on this surgery.

    I do not feel like I will be 69 next month, but my body and these surgeries are telling me I am an old fart!

    I need more Bourbon!

    At 62, here's my list of surgieries and issues:
    - Tonsiles out
    - Appendix out
    - Gall bladder out
    - Right knee ACL surgury
    - Coke bottle glasses
    - Liver transplant
    - Ears ring all the time. Can't hear an armadillio at 10-yards!
    - Arthritis getting started in both hands.
    - Cholesterol, blood sugar, and triglecerides are all high.

    At my annual check up last week, the "20 something" doc's assistant asked if I'd had any falls lately. Kind of ****** me off that she asked that. I'm not THAT old.

    Fortiunatley I'm still as hunky and handsome as ever.

                          I find I point at things getting done more now than when I use to say get out of the way let me do it.

                              If it don't hurt, it don't work. After all I put myself through, I'm just glad to be here.
