    Out here by the lake!
    Best wishes & greater luck, even dentists are reluctant to prescribe anything stronger than T.#3. Just a few years ago, pre-Pres.T, dentists & lots of physicians wouldn't think about prescribing something that ineffectual for significant pain. Harder now to control one's pain than it was under Pres.JC.

    If one has bad pain that goes chronic...going to a pain specialist is de rigueur if one wants relief. [& guess what, most pain docs don't accept medicare.]
    Afterthought: Hmmm....I suppose one could relocate to one of those places where things are dispensed/sold by "unlicensed-pharmacists." I understand those outfits are a cash-&-carry OTC operation.
    I know 2 people who have been on long term opitate pain management. The bullshit they have to go through is more or less a sham( not shame)!

    On the renfest side job it use to freak out the other guys when they would wake up to pee, and I would just be sitting on my cot.

    Wakings up every so many hours through the night, to be up for a couple hours from pain makes for some long days!

    The doctor tells me to walk for exercise.
    It's just too darn hot outside for me. Being over sixty now I just can't take that heat like I used to.
    Someone suggested going over to the local shopping mall in the early mornings. The mall allows "walkers" to use the long length of the mall for walking indoors.
    So I went over there. After I nearly got struck and killed by numerous sourpuss old women walking at 35mph I gave up.
    I limped home.
    At least I didn't have on black knee high socks with sandals.
    If you want exercise tape 100 dolla bills on yo back and walk through downtown Houston... that shit will bring you some excitement

    Heading to mid 60s fast and I don’t mind the heat. The freeze wasn’t that bad either and I don’t know why, maybe cause I was working all through it with little sleep.

    What cranks me is being cold in my house! If it’s bedtime then good, I put it on 72 and cover up and try to rest before my two hour pissfest starts!

    As my mom became fond of saying in her later years:

    There is nothing golden about the golden years except what dribbles down your legs.

    Luckily, I'm not at that point quite yet but I now that I am older, I have met a companion who will likely be with me up until the day I die:

    Arthur I. Tis - he is with me always.

    There is your problem. Those knee socks are secret code to identify you as "one of them".

    I started riding a bicycle 5 years ago, my doctor wanted me to get off the couch. 8,400 miles now, I'll be 70 in September, I ride a fat tire bicycle at least 5 miles a day. Lately I've bumped it up to 8 - 9 miles riding with two old guys like me. One rides a tricycle. If I'm sweating I'm losing weight, then I can eat more snacks.

    Sometimes you gotta step back and look at the situation, this case your health and decide that you're going to start making choices...today.. to improve it.


    Things in our life, we don't change....we are accepting... read that again.

    Eat less and move more is the key.. not necessarily eat less food, just less high calorie food


    I see people my age all the time hobbling around, hunched over, 100 lbs overweight and they look miserable. The longer they stay like that, the more of their mobility they will lose until they can't or don't even want to get out and go places.

    You can do it.. you just have to want to do it.
    Like Yoda said... Do or do not..there is no try.

    My FIL is 75 and looks like shit. Sat in his recliner after he retired and treated his diabetes with Little Debbie cakes and pies from HEB. He can barely get out and rarely does, is weak as hell, shakes when he walks.

    When I need motivated, I go see him.
    The hospitals and cemetery is full of people who did it their way.

    Maybe not the words of encouragement you want to hear, sorry..not sorry.


    Now go get it done son.
