“Pass me the bacon!!”
Correct. It would be 10 miserable years.
I'm 74, and already outlived the rest of my family. They all smoked, and most of them died well before 74, so I'm living on borrowed time. I never smoked, but have my own health issues that none of them were diagnosed with. I'm currently nursing a depression fracture on the right tibia. The 16" knee immobilizer they gave me gives me pain in the hip and leg that I didn't have before the break. I'm supposed to sleep with it on, but when my hip starts aching, off it comes. I'm not supposed to bend the knee, but have to be able to drive my car when I need to mail a package, or go to a doctor's appointment. Neither of my sons lives near me, so do for myself as I've always done. I ended up having to get my groceries delivered to my top floor apartment. To sooth my aching hip today, after hitting the post office, I drove to Arby's, and bought myself one of their large chocolate milk shakes. That will make everything feel better.
