Thanks to every poster. Health/Life BUMP!
R.I.P. dear friend, Doug.
Problem is the same shady blogs and polemical writers in the recesses of the conservative media recycling these theories. It is not gaining any mainstream traction.
My wife had her left hip replaced the first working day in March. No it wasn’t sudden, her hip started giving her problems months before the replacement. Due to Covid, her replacement kept getting postponed. She is doing better basically each week. After the first month she went for PT, twice a week.
My tagin here, is basically, what I often heard from People waiting for their PT appointment, both post op and some just needing PT. I sat outside of the PT clinic, while my wife got PT, and I basically ended up serving as a sounding board of Woe from many incoming patients/people.
The worst was a guy, my age 82, and we were in the same Service Club years ago. I didn’t recognize him when he said hello. Then, he told me who, he was and added this comment:
“I’ve aged so badly in the past year. I feel like I’m 100 years old.” “What’s happening? I feel so old. Nothing in my body works anymore.” But everything worked fine one year ago. He and I are the same age 82+.
I heard that remark, below often while waiting for my wife to have her PT visit.
“I’ve aged so badly in the past year. I feel like I’m 100 years old.” “What’s happening? I feel so old. Nothing in my body works anymore.”
But, everything worked fine one year ago. He/she/they were aging slowly and beautifully. What changed so radically?
Two of our male friends, one is my same age, early 80’s and one is a few years older are facing this terrible aging process. The younger one has passed out twice and ended up outside an ER waiting for a bed. His health turned bad after his second booster.
The other man was not doing too bad after his first 2 Covid shots. Then, after his booster, he has aged badly, looks and feels terrible. He had short term shingles after his 2nd shot.
“Let’s call this doctor Dr. Smith.”
Really, the guy who sabotaged the robot on the Jupiter 2 ?
Mrs. JimRed had her third booster a couple of weeks ago. She had an episode and a fall the other day. The doctors who examined her are screening her for Parkinson’s. They tell me there is no test to actually diagnose it. They administer the medication that helps it and if the condition improves, she has it.
I have seen people in my apt building who do not walk normally anymore. Kind of a shuffling back and forth motion.
I have a stupid person who still wears a mask night or day. He has added dark sunglasses and a baseball cap to complete the stupid look.
Note that the newsreaders have never worn a mask while telling you to wear one!
